Whereas the old partnership of yore had Costco directly selling Apple products in its stores, the new arrangement seems to be online-only at this time.</p> <!--break--> <p>Costco is offering some great deals for the iPhone and iPad through its online portal, with the base 16 GB iPhone 5S being discounted by as much as $120.</p> <p>Costco is selling the Verizon, Sprint, and AT&amp;T models of the iPhone 5S for $77.99 with a two-year contract. This price is for the 16 GB model of Apple's current flagship smartphone and Costco is listing the normal retail price at $197.99.</p> <p>Additionally, the iPad mini with Retina Display for Verizon is being sold at a $100 discount. Normally listed for $620, Costco is offering the 16 GB iPad mini with Retina Display for $519.99.</p> <p>Have you been holding off on buying an Apple iPhone or iPad mini with Retina Display because of the price? Are these Costco deals enough to lure you into a new purchase at this time?</p> <p>Source: Costco 1 (http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/browseTablets/), 2 (http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/browsePhones/) via TGaap (http://www.t-gaap.com/2014/6/25/breaking-news-costco-now-offering-iphones-and-ipads-online-with-steep-discounts)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25372"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3be23bee/sc/5/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
