Staples now selling accessories for the iPad, iPhone, iPod and Mac
As expected, Staples is now an authorized Apple reseller. Starting today, the office supply store is selling accessories for the Mac, iPad, iPod and iPhone. The products popped up on Staple's online storefront with a big popup banner announcing their arrival. You'll find cases, keyboards, chargers and more for your iOS and OS X devices. Pricing is on par with other resellers and Apple's own retail stores. You can check out all the goods on Staples website.
Staples in the US to sell Apple gear?
Staples is not an authorized Apple reseller (although the company does sell Apple gear in Canada), but a new rumor suggests the office supply store could soon start selling Apple gear here in the states. According to a report by 9to5 Mac, Staples was listing an Apple TV for a low US$49.99 price tag. The page, which is no longer available on Staple's website, listed the Apple TV along with a $24.99 Lightning cable under the "customers who viewed this also viewed" heading. An Apple mock up section on the site also contained a variety of Apple-branded products. MacRumors says it received word that Staples would begin selling Apple gear, but had no evidence of this claim until this recent leak.
iPhone coming to some authorized AT&T resellers next month
Historically, AT&T's only allowed its treasured iPhone to be sold directory through its website and company-owned stores plus national partners Best Buy and Walmart, but times... well, they are a changin' -- and we're hearing now that certain authorized resellers will finally get in on the action starting November 1. To be specific, the top 20 agents will be invited to start stocking the various iPhone flavors in-store, which might signal AT&T's interest in keeping up the huge iPhone-specific numbers it posted for the third quarter this year. Question is, how will this play out when the next model comes out -- will it go back to being a COR exclusive? [Thanks, Kal]
