iPhone 4 Ordering Now Live On Apple Canada Online Store $659/$779

By Ex on July 30th, 2010 110

Today is a great today for Canadians as Apple has started to take Canadian orders for the iPhone 4 through the Apple Canada Online Store!

In the USA, France, Germany, Japan, and United Kingdom, iPhone 4 pre-orders went live on June 15, 2010 for a launch date of June 24, 2010. At the time, it was confusing to why Canada was left out of that country list.

Now, one month later on July 30 2010, it is Canada’s launch day and Apple has opened Canadian online orders.

iPhone 4 Purchasing Methods

Canadians will have three methods to get their iPhone 4:

1.) Canadians will be able to order the unlocked, full price iPhone 4 16/32GB in Black through the Apple Canada Online Store. Any online orders are shipped to the billing address (no store pickup).

2.) For customers that want iPhone 4 locked on contracts, activations or upgrades, visit your local Apple Store or Canadian wireless dealer store today (or from today going forward). There will be line-ups this weekend however.

3.) As an alternative for the unlocked iPhone 4, customers can also visit their local Apple Store. There will be line-ups this weekend however.

To summarize, if you want your iPhone 4 IMMEDIATELY, do either method 2 or method 3 above.

Please note that the iPhone 4 is limited to two per customer.

Canadian iPhone 4 Pricing

Canadian pricing for the iPhone 4 is as follows when purchased at an Apple Store (or on contract from a Canadian wireless dealer):

iPhone 4 (Black Only; White Delayed Until Further Notice)

  • 16GB: $159 locked on contract; $659 unlocked without contract
  • 32GB: $269 locked on contract; $779 unlocked without contract
  • Looks like the CBC/Toronto Star sources were correct.

Note: Any iPhone 4 purchased at a Canadian wireless carrier store will be locked to that carrier no matter the price paid. However, if purchased at full price from an Apple Store, the iPhone 4 will be unlocked. If purchased on contract from an Apple Store, the iPhone 4 will be locked to a Canadian wireless carrier.

THREE WEEKS TO SHIP?!

The iPhone 3GS is also available at a new price:

iPhone 3GS (Black)

  • 8GB: $99 locked on contract; $549 unlocked without contract

Note: The iPhone 3GS purchased at a Canadian wireless carrier store will be locked to that carrier no matter the price paid. However, if purchased at full price from an Apple Store, the iPhone 3GS will be unlocked. If purchased on contract from an Apple Store, the iPhone 4 will be locked to a Canadian wireless carrier.

iPhone 4 MicroSIM Card

For the MicroSIM card, if the iPhone 4 is purchased at a Canadian wireless carrier store or Apple Store, the customer will receive one MicroSIM card for use with a Canadian wireless carrier at no charge.

Additional MicroSIM cards will be charged accordingly.

    basically the only way to get a locked iphone would be in store only right? meaning i cant order online ?

  • Steve

    I think the only reason Rogers has HUP in store only is they have so few units, It seems like they only have a few thousand across the country from what people are reporting. By in store only it means they limit how many people use HUP.

    But seriously, in today's day and age to not allow use of the web or phone is ridiculous, wake up Rogers we are not in the 19th century…

  • iphonedmilanista

    Agreed. I wonder if every carrier is like that. I'm gonna call fido after to find out if I could order one. If not im sure they'll allow for online or phone orders next week. Well they better

  • Kitaguy

    Do we pay HST on the phone at the apple store? How about if we buy it online?

  • panino

    So if I get the microsim, Rogers would know that I'm using an iphone. Would they make me add a data plan then? (Don't hate – everywhere I go I have wifi available)

    In that case, I might as well get HUP from rogers and pay less. Problem is I may not be in Canada for the third year of the contract.

  • zadigre

    I don't think they will ask you to take a plan if you pay full price…

    You could always cut you current sim…

  • http://www.nithin.net Nithin

    3 weeks to deliver?? WTF?

  • zadigre

    There is a reason for this… Availability…
    Same delay for all countries around the world… Even USA.

  • http://www.yopool.com Taylor

    Up to I know, you can get a Micro Sim Card Adapter Cutting Sticker for iPhone 4G at yopool. Only 1usd or so. Then you can switch Normal SIM and Micro SIM easily. Only one SIM card needed.

  • http://www.yopool.com yopool

    There is a kind of Magic SIM card which can unlock iPhone 4G, and you can google it.

  • Smyth_cam

    Rogers FAIL again!! I was in line for 3 and a half hours. FINALLY got up to the counter (I was only 10th in line) and their system crashes. They tell me they can't give me an iPhone.

    Asshole!!!!!!

  • Mrmozart

    Guys please help.

    I pre-ordered Iphone 32G. When I checked my Visa, I found that apple charged me $904 not $880.27 as their conformation email stated?

    Did they just stole CA$ 20 with no reason?

    Tom

  • Mrmozart

    Kanwati, how much did apple charge you? try to check ur credit card not apple's confirmation email. thanks

    Tom

  • zadigre

    It's a pre-authorization, not a charge… Wait a few days until it's really charged.

  • Mrmozart

    Zadigre, thanks..but why did they pre-authorize 905 not 880? …just curious, are all the same? Tom

  • zadigre

    I don't know… But for me the total is 926.70 (iPhone 4 32GB, dock and
    expidited shipping)… My dock was shipped right away because it was in
    stock…
    And I got three pre-authorized “charges” on my credit card… 1.00, 32.73
    and 14.67. 32.73 is 29+taxes (PST/QST) and 14.67 is 13+taxes…

  • Mrmozart

    You were really helpful. yes you were charged 880 but I got charged 904. Gonna call them to know why. thanks again

  • cooldaniel1991

    Excuse me do you know a site like MYUS but for Canada that ships to Europe? Thank you

  • Fordomatic

    WTF? This news story said that a guy walked out of a store with 8 iphone 4′s and a $6,000 invoice. I thought there was a limit of 2 per customer? WTF?????

  • Nico

    wow bestbuy says they are selling the iphone in white? definetly some kind of glitch right?

  • zadigre

    I would be surprised to see Best Buy selling any Apple product that are not even available in an Apple Store!

  • zakman23

    I just called Apple's online store. The rep told me that Apple MAY ship it earlier than the three week window. We just have to wait and see. She also told me that everyone would be getting “expedited” shipping for free as they want to fulfill orders ASAP.

  • Martinmo1970

    Need help? I'm 1 year into a Rogers 3GS contract. Can I buy an unlocked 4 to replace this one? What would be my best move? Rogers says 499.00 for the 4 buy unlocked is a little more.

  • MR

    Yes you can. If you want to buy an unlocked iPhone 4, your only option is to buy it from Apple and pay full price.

  • zadigre

    Do think the will credit the expedited shipping for those who chose this shipping method?

  • Bubble

    A friend of mine said she got her iphone at a Bell store (in toronto) within 5 mins on Friday. Good luck.

  • http://chris24.ca/ Chris Thomson

    That is correct.

  • Quintero Ricardo

    QUESTION: Is jailbreaking the same as unlocking the phone? If I was to get an Iphone with fido and if I jailbrake it, will it work with another carrier?

    Thanks!

  • Centric87

    WTF!? that's messed up! Theres a news clip showing him…he really did have 8! obviously that guy is gonna be making a nice profit, being that there factory unlocked and all

  • Portacio6

    Does anyone know if apple store in PC still have stock and will it last at least this coming week? and when will the apple store have new shipments of iphone 4? and when will the line up on apple store end? (i.e like a normal business day) thanks for the help! :(

  • portacio

    No jailbreaking is different from unlocking. Jailbreaking means taking off the some limitations of apple put into the phone such as themes for older ios (i.e 3.x.x firmware)

  • StockQuery

    so is there any update on the apple store stock, both web and in the pacific centre/vancouver? I know they are out of 32GB as of mid-afternoon yesterday but when are they realistically going to be getting more stock? Obviously after the weekend but is it worth checking on Tuesday?

  • portacio

    I need a reply on this question too!! :( I might go to PC on tuesday :(

  • Quintero Ricardo

    I'm confussed cause I have a friend who jailbroke an iphone and took it to mexico and now he uses it with a carrier there, with no problem.

    Thanks

  • zadigre

    Most of the time, the first step to unlock your phone, is to jailbreak it…

    So he unlocked is iPhone for sire unless it was already unlocked…

  • Fmscrazy

    19th Century? Yeah lots of cellphones were happening then… Stop your damn crying, I don't think I've seen you building a better company yourself.

  • Fmscrazy

    No, Apple products are exempt from HST, GST and all other forms of taxes because of their superior nature.

  • Fmscrazy

    You are retarded, god forbid something be delayed by a few hours!! I am so glad that the company you started is providing us with better service!!!

  • Kanawati

    Hi, Mrmozart.

    Nothing on my credit card so far. I've read on AppleStore's website the following:

    When Apple charges your account

    Apple receives authorization to charge your account prior to shipping your item(s). However, your card will only be charged after your order has shipped. If your order contains multiple items and they ship at different times, you may see multiple charges on your credit card statement.

    CAD$ 758.52 for the 16GB models…CAD 86.00 only for the taxes and CAD 13.00 for the delivery… :(

    Guys! I bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4 on the apple online store do you know how the activation proceess will be once I get it?

    I second what zadigre said..

  • Panzer

    It need to use an activated iphone 4 to apply for free bumper, within 30 days of purchase (ship date).

  • JP

    Just wondering… if you order online from Apple, do they give you a microSIM? They did not ask at check-out what carrier I was with or anything, do they have some kind of universal SIM I can activate with either carrier? I would like to avoid a trip in to the Fido store if I can.

  • zadigre

    You answered your own question… I don't think they will give you a micro-sim if they did not ask you which provider you are using…
    And to the best of my knowledge, an universal micro-sim does not and can not exist…

  • http://www.iphoneincanada.ca Gary

    Yes they should.

  • JP

    How can they if they didn't ask which carrier?

  • confused

    Has anyone figured out what type of service plans are available when you have an unlocked iPhone 4? What's the best deal out there?

  • zadigre

    Same as a locked phone if you take an agreement… Or if you can get a good plan when negotiating something with your provider…
