Wal-Mart has announced that it will be one of four retailers with the iPhone 4 for sale on launch day, June 24th, confirming previous reports.
The other places with the much-hyped device are Best Buy, Radio Shack and Apple stores. Obviously, the smartphone will also be available through AT&T.
Pre-orders for the device begin on June 15th and Apple is expecting to sell over 1 million units during launch weekend.
While Wal-Mart is known for having cheaper prices than competitors, Apple does not allow retailers to charge lower than the MSRP. That being said, the 16GB model will cost $200 and the 32GB model will sell for $300.
The iPhone 4 has a 3.5-inch multi-touchscreen with a 640x960 resolution, runs the iOS 4.0 and has a 1GHz Apple A4 processor. The new OS allows for multitasking.
Additionally, the iPhone 4 has a 5MP standard camera and a 1.5MP front-facing camera for video conferencing.
