Sprint issues $50 iPhone 4S price cut prior to next iPhone's launch
iMore

Sprint has just issued a $50 price cut that puts the price of Apple's iPhone 4S down to just $149 a piece. At this current price point, the iPhone 4S can be acquired for $50 less than what you would normally have to pay for it elsewhere. This sudden move by Sprint to reduce the price of Apple's current flagship smartphone is seen by many as a way to get more people to buy before the official next-generation iPhone unveiling, which is expected to happen at an official Apple event in September. If you have been waiting for a good time to buy Apple's current flagship iOS handheld, there hasn't been a better time than now.

What Else You Need To Know:

- Although the iPhone 4S can now be bought at a great discount price because of Sprint's $50 price cut, it's worth noting that the next-generation iPhone 5 is expected to come out in a few weeks time.

- Buying the discounted iPhone 4S from Sprint requires signing up for a 2-year service contract.
