Report: Wal-Mart To Sell iPhones This Holiday Season

Giant discount chain Wal-Mart in November may become the second retailer to sell Apple’s iPhone, a report said Monday.

Wal-Mart, which already sells a huge number of iPods, could announce a deal Nov. 15, just two weeks before the retail sector’s “Black Monday,” according to the Boy Genius Report website.

In September, electronics retailer Best Buy began selling iPhones, making it the first third-party retailer to offer the Apple handset.

Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney told Cult of Mac if the report is true, the addition of Wal-Mart with its 3,500 stores, would be a good move.

“Problem is that Wal-Mart shoppers are on budgets and the iPhone is expensive for them both in device cost and service,” Dulaney wrote in an e-mail.
