Update 1: Just had an email from a Bell source–July 23rd date mentioned again.
In their latest PR release about iPhone 4 sales, Apple once again confirmed the iPhone 4 will be launched in Canada “by the end of July”. We have received two separate emails that provide specific information to corroborate a pending July 23rd launch.
According to our tipster, with close ties to an Apple Store, here are some vague details “CS” was able to provide:
- Word around the store is a July 23rd launch for the iPhone 4.
- Employees have been asked to start shifts at 7:00AM on that day.
- No one is allowed to book time off on that day.
The above details are identical to what was provided regarding the iPad’s rumoured April 24th launch in Canada–until it was delayed by Apple.
Earlier today, another story popped up online with a similar date (their source was from a major carrier, not an Apple Store), but of course we have to always take these rumours with a grain of salt. We previously predicted July 23rd or July 30th, the last two Fridays of the month. Right now, the former is looking to be the best bet for the iPhone 4 launch in Canada.
All we can do now is wait. Rest assured that as we inch closer into July, the iPhone 4 launch date will soon by announced by Rogers, Bell, and Telus on the same day (they like to do things in tandem).

I believe so. I've asked around at 3 or 4 Rogers Wireless stores just checking if I'm eligible to upgrade right away at the advertised price point, and they said it shouldn't be a problem. I have a 3G as well (got it July 12/08); they told me as long as it's 24 months (to the day) into my contract, I should be eligible. Hopefully that helps!
I have a black iPhone 3G 8GB that I got in July 2008 and am looking to upgrade to the 32GB iPhone 4. I'm just wondering: Because I have an 8GB, can I only upgrade to an 8GB (which would be a 3GS) or does capacity not factor into the upgrade process?
You can upgrade to any device.
Does Apple have the power to give you a new plan or contract? Like don't they have to contact your cell phone carrier to do so?
Nope.
Apple Stores have the EXACT same access as each wireless carrier store.
Wow, so that means the Apple employees have to know about every single carrier's individual contracts/plans/policies?
Yep. Just like we at the site know as well. It's actually very simple.
Hey Ex. i am going away on the 21st and returning on aguest 19th can i pre order one and go to my local fedex post office and pick it up later?
If you pre-order and no one signs for it when it arrives at your door, then
yes, FedEx will hold it until you pick it up.

99% of people are irrational and impulsive and the rest 1% are ratiional !
Dont worry its how most humans work !
clearly you don't understand the concept of consumerism
they have a computer program that has all the information. Or look it up on “insertyourcarrierhere.com”
how come on the other post it says july 30th?
This release date was just speculation. No one knew the official date until now.
iPhone 4 officially comes out on July 30th in Canada. Download the version 4.1 to get rid of some of the bugs in it. There will be no more unlimited data plan anymore either. Buy a bumper for $29.99 at most phone retailers to fix the antenna problem. Also I recommend the Zagg INVISIBLEshield for your iPhone 4 to prevent scratches. If your still reading the FaceTime will only be over wifi an will Not be over the 3G network. IMPORTANT: Buy phone insurance for the iPhone 4 due to all the problems (if your service provider let's you). Last but not least I'm not an Apple obsessed geek.
