Cheaper iPhone 4S & iPhone 4 Available from Radio Shack in Limited Promotion

Tweet

Just like last year, Radio Shack is ready to sell cheaper new iPhones than anyone else. The retailer started today a limited promotion on iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 smartphone, which will end on December 14, or when the available stock will get depleted.

Customers interested in getting an iPhone deal this Christmas should check Radio Shack’s new prices that will include a $30 discount. The 16GB iPhone 4S will therefore sell for $169.99, while the iPhone 4 will cost $69.99. These are on-contract prices and, unfortunately, there’s a catch: you’ll have to sign a new two-year contract with AT&T to take advantage of the offer. That means you’ll still have to pay full price for either device in case you want to buy it with a Sprint or Verizon contract.

On top of the instant $30 off, you could always trade in your existing smartphone and get even more store credit that could be use towards an iPhone purchase. In fact, depending on the condition of the device that’s traded in, you may walk out of a Radio Shack store with a free iPhone 4S or iPhone 4.

In order to get a cheaper iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 from Radio Shack you’ll have to head to the nearest store to order yours, as the sale is not available online. The retailers intentions are quite obvious, it wants more customers to hit its stores, especially at this time of year when Santa is busy picking up gifts for everyone in the family.

In case you’re not sure what iPhone model you should choose, then we’ll remind you that the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S are very similar in many aspects. However there are some major differences between them that buyers should be aware of. The iPhone 4S is the 2011 model, launched in mid-October and the company’s current flagship device. The device has a better A5 dual-core processor and better graphics, a new 8-megapixel camera with improved optics, a redesigned antenna, dual-mode Qualcomm CDMA/GSM modem that gives it World Phone capabilities and Siri, the voice-based virtual assistant, on board.
