With an iPhone 5 launch ‘imminent’ in October (or September, your pick), existing supplies of the iPhone 4 appear to be ready for clearance. MobileSyrup has noted Future Shop will be selling the iPhone 4 for $99 on a three year contract from Telus tomorrow, as revealed below in the French version of the flyer:
Apple’s typical pricing cycle for iPhones has usually revolved around clearing out existing models for $99 to make way for new phones. We have seen similar price drops in the past from Rogers/Fido for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. Last year, Future Shop reduced prices for iPhone 3GS units from Telus on June 16th. Then, about 45 days later the iPhone 4 was launched in Canada on July 30th. If we apply this same cycle for this year, we could expect the iPhone 5 to land October 1st from Telus, as rumoured–right?
We expect this deal to also appear at Best Buy, and to be matched by Rogers/Fido, and Bell, as always. Let us know if you spot this ad in your local flyer!

As soon as Bell makes their announcement, I’m all over it. Cancelled the Rogers iPhone 4 the other night with no ECF 🙂

So you’re going to buy an iPhone 4 a month or two before the next one is coming out? The next iPhone is going to be a much better phone and will only cost $50 more, why wouldn’t you at least wait and see before locking yourself 2 years in before you can get another phone.

I could wait another couple of months without a phone but I’m not the kind of person that needs the latest and greatest phone, every time one comes out. We got our iPhones about 6 months ago and we only canceled our contracts because our work relocated us to another part of the country. No Rogers reception also = no ECF 🙂
If people want the latest and greatest and can justify spending the money on a processor and camera upgrade, then all the power to them. I’m just an average guy with an average family who can’t make that justification (nor do I want to).
takes a lot of power. Bravo. Im stuck with the iphone 3G, so tempted to get the iphone 4 at 99$ but yet so close to iphone 5 which will probably be out of stock and cost more. I aint rich.

Sure the stocks are being cleared out on the old models to make way for new rock n rollers. Besides, no tech savvy addict would settle for a older version. For the others who don mind the prestige in owning a very recent gadget and consider the saving aspect, well its more than just good news!
