Target, Best Buy & Sprint have big Discounts on iPhone

Summer Offers is starting, Target is now selling the 16 GB version of the iPhone 4S for $149.99 on contract now, and Best Buy is starting to promote their discounted iPhone 4, which they are offering for $50 on contract. Of course once the new iPhone starts shipping those deals won't seem to keen anymore, as Apple's usual pricing strategy suggests that the iPhone 4 would drop down to free on contract and the iPhone 4S would drop down to $99, although it will most likely be the 8 GB model.


Discounting of iPhone models is starting significantly earlier this year than in past years. it's not clear if that's because retailers have learned from past releases that they need more time to clear out stock, or if Apple is actually encouraging this to help stave off Android's rapidly growing market share as sales of the current iPhone slow down. Regardless of what the reasoning, the real cautionary note here is that renewing your contract now to take advantage of those deals means you will already be locked in in another month or so when Apple's shiny new iDevice is released.
