Walmart will cut the prices of the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S to $29 and $99 with a two-year contract Friday, a company spokesperson told CNET.

The savings amount to $20 (down from $49) for the iPhone 5C and $50 (down from $149) for the iPhone 5S, with the offer starting in Walmart stores at 9AM local time.

These are the prices for the 16GB versions of the devices; the prices will be lowered for 32GB variants as well, claims Engadget , but the details on that weren't made public yet.

Additionally, Walmart will also lower the price of the fifth-gen iPod Touch 16GB — from $209 to $195 — on Friday.

Walmart has launched similar deals before, but this one is permanent — a logical move since Apple is expected to launch at least one new version of the iPhone in the summer.

Radioshack has had a similar promotion for several weeks now, with the prices being identical to Walmart's: $99 for the iPhone 5S and $29 for the iPhone 5C.
