New Round of iPhone Sales Herald iPhone 5 Announcement

Do you like this story?

More anecdotal reports from consumers indicate that top retailers worldwide are slashing prices of the iPhone 3Gs and 4 in a bid to clear out old stock for the launch of the iPhone 5.
It is a common practice is retail: out with the old, in with the new. That seems to be exactly what’s happening at major retail outlets worldwide that peddle the iPhone.
Recent anecdotal reports indicate that Target is slashing prices of the AT&T iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4, with the 3GS priced at just $19.99, 16GB
iPhone 4 at $169.99 and 32GB at $249.99. Target has cut prices similarly on Verizon’s iPhone 4 models as well.
Another anecdotal report from Canada indicates that retailers are slashing prices on legacy iPhone models as well. An iPhone 5 News Blog reader reported that he visited the “Telus Mobility site here in Canada and have noticed that the 16GB iphone 4 units are on sale for $99 until September 7th on a 3 year contract! (3Gs is free on a 3 yr contact as well).”

This rash of recent anecdotal reports joins a steady stream of reports that have shown a consistent trend in cutting prices on the iPhone 3Gs, ostensibly to make way for the current iPhone 4 to become the “value priced” iPhone, and the iPhone 5 to assume its place as the premium-priced iPhone option. Back in mid July, we reported on the iPhone 5 News Ticker how AT&T has begun offering refurbished iPhone 3Gs units for just $9.00. Then, in late July, we reported on how U.S. tech retailer Radio Shack would be joining Target in the price drop on iPhones.
As we’ve stated here on the Blog before, fire sales like this is a very strong sign that a new product announcement/release is imminent. Retailers usually give themselves a window of 4 to 6 weeks to offer soon-to-be-obsolete products at clearance prices in the lead-up to a new announcement. The difference with Apple and the iPhone is that retailers are not apt to stick a “Clearance” tag on such a premium, high-priced item — which is why you’re still seeing Apple promoting the iPhone 4 heavily in television commercials, even as the iPhone 5′s announcement in September is imminent.
