Last week, I briefly discussed a rumor floating around that Walmart would offer a special 4GB version of the iPhone for $99. It seemed like bullshit then and it appears that it still is nothing more than a load of crap. Now Macrumors has received an image of a Walmart training document that shows the iPhone 3G for $197. Yes. You will save a whopping $2 by buying the phone at Walmart. I’m assuming Walmart is just taking a $2 loss on each phone in order to appear more competitive.

On top of it all, Bloomberg has confirmed that the iPhone will be coming to Walmart this month. Apple will no doubt sell more iPhones thanks to this deal it brokered but a $99 iPhone would have created pure madness that would have made Black Friday look childish.

Here’s a rumor that seems plausible but I’m kind of cautious about reporting. Walmart is begging Apple to come and sell the iPhone at its stores. Apple might agree to this and cut a deal like it did with Best Buy. Now BGR is reporting that a new 4GB iPhone (possibly 3G) will be sold at the low price of $99 in order to attract Walmart’s customer base. Will it happen? I’m not holding my breath but it never hurts to be a believer.
