CBC Report: Unlocked iPhone 4 Prices in Canada $659/779
**Update 1: it seems the Toronto Star is also stating the same pricing as the CBC. Thanks @msjpearson
The iPhone 4 launches this Friday, and Apple officially reminded us today. As for pricing, the Big 3 carriers have still kept us in the dark. It can be safe to assume pricing will be similar to the $199/$299 for 16/32GB models just like the iPhone 3GS last year.
CBC Reports Unlocked iPhone 4 Prices Will Be $659/$779?
The CBC wrote a story today that speculated on unlocked iPhone 4 pricing in Canada. Their sources told them the following:
iPhone 4 16GB: $659
iPhone 4 32GB: $779
Now, our previous unlocked iPhone 4 price predictions were $649/$749 for the 16/32GB models. We based this on the current price of the 8GB iPhone 3GS, which is selling for $549 unlocked. Apple typically prices their products with uniformity, just like what they did with their iPad pricing in Canada.
I checked with one of my Apple sources and the CBC prices are included with the $649/$749 numbers, so we will hear the final pricing announcement soon. Take the CBC report with a grain of salt as they could change. Why would people pay $120 more for the 32GB, when historically it was $100?
Thanks to everybody who sent this in!

It's cheaper to buy a subsidized phone, cancel your contract and unlock when you need to.
Seems a bit low, my years of cell phone salesman experience are leaning towards
16gig: 699.99
32gig: 799.99
dang, thats cheap.
Apple US is selling contract-free ones for thesame ($630 with Massachusetts Tax), and the dang thing is locked to AT&T!!!!!!
As much as I want to pay $299.99 for my i4.. I don't want to be locked in for 3-years so I think I'm just going to go for the factory unlocked version for $779.
Unlocked is necessary for me. I am not buying it due to how Rogers has or has not treated me. In my opinion, they ALL screw you some way or another. I have been with Rogers and they have been fairly good to me. I am getting an unlocked phone because I travel often. All over Europe and it is nice to get a prepaid SIM card and pop it into my phone with no hassles. Even travelling to the USA you can get a SIM card from a company online that offers great rates. Cheaper than your own carrier.
It costs 500 to cancel a contract in Canada. 400 for the voice plan and 100 for the data plan. It's not cheaper.
What are Rogers/Fido/Telus waiting for… the 30th is Friday!! What a way to create havoc…
CNN is likely not going to release unfounded figures. They've got a great reputation to uphold. I bet you these numbers have been checked and iPhone 4 retail pricing is better than the 3GS last year!
“unlock when you need to” – requires jailbreak… why take the hassle… also its not cheaper…
Hey, ex, if I am going to get the iPhone 4 from Rogers if there Is a new iPhone or something similar next year will I be able to upgrade to that phone without paying the full price and also in the article up there it said that no major carriers have officially announced prices on the iPhone 4 what do you think the prices will be
I spoke to a Source/Bell employee today in Woodstock, NB, who clearly said there were going to be only 500 units being sent to all of Canada!
Really, which carrier? Usually they will charge you more than the price of the phone to break your contract.
Rogers policy is upgrades every 2 years. But temporary policy changes can modify that policy.
They should announce their plans/prices around the 28th. They can't do it too early for competition reasons.
You don't think that's the first thing they thought of when creating the cancellation prices?
A friend who went into the Rogers store was told 4000 for all of Canada. I think they're just making up numbers to make sure they have lineups outside their stores. IMO, anyway.
Sounds like unneeded hysteria. We will get more than that, especially since we have more than one carrier AND quite a bit of apple stores in Canada. I would say it's safer to say 500 per city for launch.
Ex,
I am from Newfoundland and we don't have an Apple store. Do you know if the Bell kiosks/stores will have a decent supply of iPhone 4's?
Thanks
i just got off the call to fido. i had a chance to talk to a really nice lady about upgrading the iphone 4…..
unfortunately, she told me i am not eligible to upgrade……. i felt really frustrated…….. anyhow, she offered me a really really really awesome voice & talk plan to make me feel a lot better.
i'm 4 years into the contract with fido…… just upgraded the iphone 3g 2 years ago…. i really hope there're some possibilities for me to upgrade to the 4th gen……..
man,,,, i've even bought the screen protector…..i just cannot wait….
Where are you getting those amounts from? Rogers? Telus' cancellation policy is $20 per month for the remainder of your contract.
do you have the name of that company?
lol I did that too…As we speak it's on it's way from Hong Kong.
Wow. I can't believe fido wont let you upgrade… Fido and Rogers are the same company and its pretty stupid if Rogers lets their customers upgrade which has been the speculation for the last couple of days.
Does anybody know if this is before or after tax?
I am still debating if I should get an unlock one or not. Since I will not be traveling a lot and I do want a data plan. But the freedom of an unlock phone is so tempting. Since all my previous phones (N95, W850i, 2G iPhone…) are all unlock, it will feel very weird to have a lock phone….can't decide !!!
is this canadian dolars or american?
Before.
These unlocked prices are a “deal” especially if you compare them to prices in Europe too.
Hi Ex…I was just wondering if you know if Rogers will sell an iphone4 to me outright??
before taxes
i would go early and wait in line if i were you
…What do you think?
i m from europe, i dont know…
Wait i don't' get it you said you have upgraded TWO years ago why aren't you eligible to upgrade??? isn't it Two years for the hardware upgrade (HU)?? i thought after two years in your 3 years contract you are eligible? whats going on am I missing something? DON'T tell me Fido doesn't let people upgrade for 3 years… because that would be huge rip off and just UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!
I don't think it will “feel” any different…
Can I flag this for stupidity? 10X as many stores going to be selling the Iphone4…..SOooooo basically 1 in every 10 stores gets….1 Phone? Idiot.
They will sell it to you outright but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be unlocked. I don't see the point if it isn't unlocked either get it subsidized or buy it full price unlocked.
That's only if you don't have a data plan. The moment you get a data phone with a plan on 3 yr subsidized price you have two cancellation fees one for the voice (20/mth) and one for the data; I believe the data one is actually $200 dollars across the board at all Canadian Carriers.
They will but it will be locked to Rogers.
What competition, the big three always sit at the table and discuss how to gouge the pour citizens, all their plans looks alike with few tweaks here and there, other than that they have no reason to compete against one another.
Dude!! stop saying its f@#&ing cheap its not cheap at all tax included it will cost almost $750 for 16gb and $881 for a f#*&ing phone. I personally think it should be less even though I can afford it no problem. who charges $120 for 16gb extra memory??? memories are much cheaper now a days, but apple didn't upgrade the memory this year because they want to have something left for iphone 5, they could have doubled the memory for the same price no problem but they will always find an excuse not to. even at 599, 699 its too high of a price. if you think about it the ipad has 3x the screen size. and its cheaper for the wifi model for the same capacities, and usually the screen is one very important price grabbing aspect beside the hardware construction and other materials. if anything it should cost less
Let's assume it costs $400 to cancel a voice plan and $100 to cancel a data plan.
$299.99 + $400 + $100 = $799.99. $799.99 > $779.99.
I'm being pretty generous with the cancellation fees and that's not to mention you end up with a carrier locked iPhone.
The way I see it, you need to have a plan with one provider if you're getting one, even if there's no contract. They all suck for different reasons, so might as well pick one and stick with them. Thus, having it unlocked isn't a point if you don't travel internationally. And really, in a year (if there's a promotion) or two (standard upgrade timing), I'm just going to get a new iPhone. I don't really see a point in paying $650+ every year or two to stay up-to-date (my 3G is on iOS4 and is awful, so yes, I most certainly do plan to keep upgrading to new devices). So, I know that I'm going to a rogers or apple store, paying $200, and keeping my current plan come Friday.
Canadian Dude! we don't use American dollar here LOL!!
Canadian Dude! we don't use American dollar here LOL!!
Don't forget about future resale value. If you decide to sell your iPhone4, it is MUCH easier to sell on eBay or what have you if it is factory unlocked. You will get a much higher price for it. I just sold my 3GS on eBay and covers over half the money I will be paying for an unlocked iPhone4. You know when the next one comes out, you will want that one too!!
but they havent even said the release date on their web, which I thought would come first.
nice to know, because i will pay less for iphone 4 😀 i love your country just because unlocked iphone 🙂
regards from Montenegro
Pre order tomorrow?? Or atleast pricing? new macs rumoured tomoreow, logical time to ready the store for friday
And in the province of Quebec, carrier cannot charge cancellation fee's, they can only charge the value of the phone subsidized, so, if you go for 16g at 199$ they cannot charge more then 400$ or so…so 199$ + 400$ = 600$ or so!! and then you only have to unlocked the phone.
