Fido Website Source Code Reveals iPhone 4 Pricing?

**Update1: How to find out your iPhone 4 Fido upgrade eligibility: click here TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

Here we go again. More iPhone 4 pricing rumours, however this time around it’s embedded in the Fido website source code. Here’s what Adam discovered from his digging (Chantelle Joy also found some goodies before too) from this page: http://www.fido.ca/web/Fido.portal?_…eting-_-iphone

function checkEligibility() {
var Eligibility_urlStr =
“/web/com/fido/portlets/handset/iphoneRequest/upgradeEligibility.jsp”;
var ctn = jQuery.trim($(“#LightphNo1″).val()) +
jQuery.trim($(“#LightphNo2″).val()) + jQuery.trim($(“#LightphNo3″).val());
var postalCode = jQuery.trim($(“#LightphNo4″).val());
Eligibility_urlStr = Eligibility_urlStr + “?ctn=” + ctn + “&postalCode=” +
postalCode;

$.ajax({
url: Eligibility_urlStr,
cache: false,
type: “POST”,
dataType: “html”,
timeout: 300000,
success: function(data, textStatus){
data = jQuery.trim(data);
if(data == ‘H’) {
$(‘#checkContent’).css(‘display’,'none’);
$(‘#eligibleContent’).css(‘display’,'block’);
$(‘#eligibleMsg’).html(‘You are eligible to upgrade to an iPhone4 at the special
price of $199 for 16GB or $299 for 32GB, with a 3 year Fido Agreement.
FidoDollars applicable. Certain conditions apply.’);
}
else if(data == ‘M’) {
$(‘#checkContent’).css(‘display’,'none’);
$(‘#eligibleContent’).css(‘display’,'block’);
$(‘#eligibleMsg’).html(‘You are eligible to upgrade to an iPhone4 at $699 for
16GB or $799 for 32GB, with a 3 year Fido Agreement. FidoDollars applicable. In
addition, you will receive a $250 Fido Rewards bonus. Certain conditions
apply.’);
}
else if(data == ‘S’) {
$(‘#checkContent’).css(‘display’,'none’);
$(‘#eligibleContent’).css(‘display’,'block’);
$(‘#eligibleMsg’).html(‘You are eligible to upgrade to an iPhone4 at $699 for
16GB or $799 for 32GB, with a 3 year Fido Agreement. FidoDollars applicable. In
addition, you will receive a $450 Fido Rewards bonus. Certain conditions
apply.’);
}
else if(data == ‘null’) {
$(‘#checkContent’).css(‘display’,'none’);
$(‘#eligibleContent’).css(‘display’,'block’);
$(‘#eligibleMsg’).html(‘You are eligible to upgrade to an iPhone4 at $699 for
16GB or $799 for 32GB, with a 3 year Fido Agreement. FidoDollars applicable. In
addition, you will receive a $450 Fido Rewards bonus. Certain conditions
apply.’);
}
},
error: function(xhrRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
//onError(xhrRequest, textStatus, errorThrown)
}
});
return false;
}

So, if this source code is correct once again, we get the following prices:

3 year contract pricing
iPhone 4 16GB: $199
iPhone 4 32GB: $299

Contract free pricing:
iPhone 4 16GB: $699
iPhone 4 32GB: $799

These unlocked prices differ from our unlocked iPhone 4 predictions and CBC’s reported pricing. The only price we have yet to confirm is the unlocked iPhone 4 pricing from the Apple Store. The 699/799 price point is the same as outright iPhone 3GS units during last year’s launch.

  1. Mr. Mac says:

    The reason for the diffrent price rumours are because the big 3 will have different pricing, which means that 2 of the 3 rumours will turn out to be true. Telus and Bell have a different contract with Apple than Rogers and may have to sell the iPhone at a lower price point than Rogers. Bell and Telus may have to sell at $249 and $149 or slightly higher. If you're not yet with Rogers and you'll be signing a contract, make sure you do your homework before you pick a carrier on Friday. The original $749 guess may yet turn out to be true for the Apple store unlocked price as this price affects the price at which Bell and Telus have to sell, though I think the CBC price may be bang on.

    I just checked the code again – and it has been removed…

  3. AdamK says:

    Hey all – I found something else on the Fido website

    http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/iPhones...

    So:

    APPLE IPHONE 4
    $199 – 16 GB Black
    $199 – 16 GB White
    $299 – 32 GB Black
    $299 – 32 GB White

    They sure don't hide their code very well ;)

    Cheers
