Starting today, Walmart is aggressively slashing the price of the iPhone 5 to $129 and the iPhone 4S to just $39, reports Mashable.

The retail price of the iPhone 5 is $199 and the retail price of the iPhone 4S is $99. To get the new pricing, customers will be required to sign a new two year contract with Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint.

Notably, Walmart is saying that this is not a limited time promotion.

We asked Walmart if the new pricing is temporary and were told that no, this is in fact the permanent price of the items. The new price is only available in Walmart stores and is not available online.

Historically Apple has limited the degree to which retailers can drop prices on their products, says the report. Although small price drops around $10 have been common, cutting the price by 30% for the iPhone 5 and nearly 70% for the iPhone 4S is unprecedented.

It's thought that Apple may be allowing the lower pricing to better compete with the fresh new devices that its competitors will be selling this summer; or perhaps it's looking to clear out some iPhone 5 inventory before the iPhone 5S arrives.

So, if you prefer, you can pay 99$ to be a developer... Maybe cheeper than 5$

Just Google "Update to iOS7 without UDID" and you will have tons of website show you how to do it without $5. Myself, I just download the iOS7 beta from the link which those website provided and just... 1. connect your iPhone to iTunes. 2. Hold "Shift" and click Update or Restore 3. Choose your iOS7 4. It will do its things After that, you will have your iOS7 without asking UDID or anything. IF IT DOES? make your iphone to DFU mode then restore it back to old version via iTunes. THEN redo all those steps above.

Yes, it worked in the beginning, but now much people get stuck even after the successful upgrade their iPhone goes to a black developer screen, see here and see the people comments in my posts of people satisfied: https://www.iclarified.com/30995/you-can-update-to-ios-7-without-a-registered-iphone-udid/comments

Not worth it. The ios7 beta is lagging exspecially when U use camera. Not support all the apps even install from iTunes such as Skype, eBay... Most of all, why would pay for a lagging iOS, not stable and it will be free-perfectlyiOS in a shorten time! Too fast to furious. I rolled back to my 6.1.3 due to lagging and nonsupport some apps. Spend $5 on something else more useful.

It is a good phone for the price. Samsung is very aggressive in marketing Galaxy S4 that is eclipsing iphone 5. The new features of Galaxy s4 are incredibly great. No wonder iphone 5 is about 6 month behind in technology. I tried new iOS7 on iphone 5 but it is in beta form and have many problems (stay away from iOS 7 beta unless you are an apple developer.
