AT&T offers buy-one-get-one-free on iPhone 6s as Apple Watch hits Wal-Mart

AT&T on Friday launched a new "Buy One Get One Free" promotion for premium smartphones, including the iPhone 6s. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart became the latest retailer to begin selling the Apple Watch.

A visit to the AT&T promotional webpage lists Samsung devices as eligible for a "buy one, get one free" promotion, though a call to local AT&T store confirmed the promotion applies to the iPhone 6s as well.

The deal requires customers to purchase a new iPhone 6s via the AT&T Next financing program. Customers will then receive a credit of $650, the cost of a new 16 GB iPhone 6s, spread over the life of the Next financing installments. Customers are responsible for taxes and service fees.

Customers can apply the credit to a higher capacity iPhone 6s or the iPhone 6s plus, but must pay the difference in cost.

Also on Friday, the world's largest retailer Wal-Mart began selling the Apple Watch online and at select brick-and-mortar locations, carrying the sport edition of the watch and various accessories. Wal-Mart joins Target and Best Buy as the latest large retailer to carry the device.

Wal-Mart currently carries the 38mm and 42mm of the sport version of the watch, in silver and space gray. It is also carrying sport bands and the magnetic charging cable.

Unlike Best Buy and Target, Wal-Mart is not offering any discounts on the watch. Best Buy is currently offering $100 off all models and sizes of the device , while Target offered a $100 gift card with purchase of the watch on Black Friday.

So basically you get $650 if you buy 2 iPhones.
Most other carriers are offering $100 off each iPhone.
So you save $225 per phone.

Now divide the $225 by 30 monthly payments.
You save $7.50 a month versus buying an iPhone from Tmobile/Verizon/ect

I know that AT&T charges way more than $7.50 per month for service than Tmobile.

This really isn't a good deal unless you really like AT&T. I get 2 lines of unlimited LTE data for $100. No way on earth AT&T can match that. And especially not even close to $115 (which factors in the discount).

Math check: $650 back when buying 2 phones is $325 per phone back. As the base phone costs $650...you're basically getting each phone 1/2 off.

It costs $15/phone/month to add a line to AT&T BTW. I pay $114 out the door at AT&T for 2 phones with unlimited text/talk 15GB/month w/ rollover data and hotspot. It would only be $130 total if I added a 3rd phone.

Weird. Why not show iPhone?

Cause its not part of the deal.

Several people have called AT&T and they said its Samsung phones only.

So MacRumors and 9to5Mac got bad info. Heh.

Incorrect.

According to my chat with ATT just now where I asked if I could get the BOGO deal for an iPhone instead of Samsung they replied:
"we have the offer with the iphone 6s 16GB"
"If you purchase an iphoen 6S with AT&T next 24 you will get another one for free if you also get it with AT&T next 24"

Verbatim, spelling error and all. TBH my wife is interested too. She likes Rose Gold, which she says is pink but whatever.

You should have checked for yourself. It took less than 5 minutes.
