Doubt it will happen anytime soon. This one is on sale because Apple doesn't use lightning any longer on its phones. The "android " one is the iOS one now also.

Pretty much can't pass it up at this price, although that means I have to set foot into a Costco at Christmas time...

I keep hoping the android version will pop up for this price. My first gen Kishi is on its last leg.

Anyone know if Costco will price adjust even if they have none in stock?
And how could i find out if my Costco has the lower price if they are not in stock anymore?
Ask any Costco rep, they will point to to a desk location where they can put item sku and look up stock/price for you within nearby warehouses

Costco does not price just if they don't have it in stock locally. Tried it today with another item and got rejected for that particular reason.

I just picked this up from a Costco in Phoenix. $32 after tax and the $25 credit for PlayStation can still be claimed.

LOL. I got downvoted and ended up really angering some folks for some reason a month ago for saying this was going to be going for $15 in six months. Depending on what someone values the PS credit at, here we are, and five months ahead of schedule.

The code is emailed to you after setting up the app and your account.

Why not just get an adapter? Seems easy enough.

Save yourself the trouble and pay $36 from Instacart. Best to avoid Costco right now.

Just bought the last one from my store, which appears to be an opened return. No code for me since it was previously registered, big surprise. I put a ticket in with backbone CS and they asked for some info, so hopefully they can issue me a code.

Pretty low of the first buyer to pull a scam like that at the returns desk. If you're going to do it, at least say it's defective so it doesn't go back to the shelf.

Nabbed it for my brother and myself. Backbone also seemed to give me a 3 month trial of Apple Arcade in addition to the $25 PSN

I'm not sure if anybody had mentioned this since I didn't check all of the pages but I had to return mine since my 14 pro max would not fit flush with the backbone even with the adaptor. The lenses on the phone don't clear the back.
