Don’t Buy Mobile Accessories…
Buy this instead: An iPhone
The Apple Store might be your first and only stop when buying an iPhone. However, Target and Walmart are actually great places to buy an iPhone compared to Apple, said Glaser. Often, these stores offer competitive deals, including bundles with gift cards and some tough-to-beat prices on prepaid iPhones, he said.
On the other hand, you might want to skip the mobile accessories at Target and Walmart.
“Shoppers pay a premium for mobile accessories — including chargers, cases and phone screens — from Target and Walmart compared to Amazon and other online retailers,” said Perez.
For example, the OtterBox Defender Series case for the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7 Plus in Bespoke Way cost $56.99 on Amazon at time of writing. The same case costs $3 more on Target and is not available for shipping. If you buy the case on Amazon, you can get free one-day shipping — but you have to be a Prime member.
