Daily Mail reports that on the eve of Apple unveiling its iPhone 6, Amazon has announced its Fire Phone will now sell for just 99 cents with a two-year contract.
The retail giant will be hoping to lure customers away from Apple with the Fire phone’s 3D screen, 13MP camera, and a year’s free Amazon Prime membership.
That and the new price, which has been slashed drastically from its original $199. This new deal, announced earlier today, is only available in the US market though AT&T.
Amazon has been struggling with the new phone, moving just 35,000 units in the product’s first 20 days, compared with Apple, who sold 9 million iPhone 5S and 5C’s in their first 3 days on the market.
The Fire Phone comes with a unique screen that uses four cameras built into the front of the phone that track head movement.
These cameras and movement sensors position images on the screen to create a 3D, holographic effect.
Amazon calls it Dynamic Perspective and claim it is one of the reasons the Fire Phone can challenge rivals such as the iPhone.
