RE: $0.79 iPhone 5c's at Wal-Mart, with 2-year contract
Christopher, I don't think historical proof always holds true. Yes, previous to last year Apple would release a new phone, the one from the year became a $99 phone and the one from 2 years ago went free. Last year, however, Apple released 2 new phones, the one from the year before (the iPhone 5) was discontinued and yes, the 4S became the free phone. This year Apple will once again most likely release 2 new phones, one with a 4.7 inch screen and one with a 5.5 inch screen. Many expect these larger devices to be available in a 128 Gb configuration and theopinions are split whether there will also be a new 4 inch phone, like an iPhone 6 with a 4 inch screen or whether the iPhone 5S will take that place. If the 5S will become the new 4 inch phone then will they also keep the 5C around? Oh well, I guess we will know for sure 2 weeks from next Tuesday, but it is fun to speculate. My niece and her husband each got an iPhone 5S 16 Gb about 2 months ago from Telus and both were free with a 2-year contract, but I think that was probably a promo of the particular store just as Target is offering this promotion.

Re: $0.79 iPhone 5c's at Wal-Mart, with 2-year contract
If you don't need the latest and greatest, then this is a great buy. If you want an iPhone 6, then wait another few weeks. My guess is if you got the $79 5S and got a new contract or renewed a contract with a carrier, you likely would not be able to get the new 6 when it arrives in September.
