T-Mobile Customers Can Now Use Starlink in Canada Through Rogers
The boundary between cellular dead zones is disappearing across Canada and the U.S. as Rogers and T-Mobile expand their satellite-to-mobile roaming partnership. T-Mobile customers travelling in Canada can access Starlink satellite connectivity via the Rogers network. This follows a move in mid-April when Rogers enabled its own customers to roam on T-Mobile’s T-Satellite network in...
BS. I’m not buying one now.
What a complete rip off for Canada. The prices are double the US prices and our dollar is about par….pitiful.
When are we gonna get to see the whole keynote on apples site or YouTube!!??
It’s up now.
This will guarantee me buying one in the US, if this is true.
The prices are the same as the US prices.
No they are not. They are approx double…yet our Canadian dollar is almost par.
What’s with high prices for Canadian and not USA, come on apple be fair. Canadian dollar is higher then USA right now we should be paying less !
With an unlocked iPhone 4S going for $599/16GB… thoughts on the 32GB? Looking to sell mine… to get my hands on the iP5!
Depends on condition and age… most 4S’s that I’ve seen for sale are $100 less then buying new… so a 32GB 4S at new pricing probably would have been $699… so fair resale price I’d say is somewhere between $500-600 for factory unlocked 32GB.
Unlocked price? It usually higher for those who are not familiar with iPhone being made available in Canada. The carrier committed prices would be similar to US
Thanks for the info Gary. I think the price is way too much for a phone that only has a bigger screen and only a few minor improvements. LTE is way too expensive for your average subscriber. Also no NFC functions.
The biggest disappointments are:
Doc connector :need to purchase a separate doc connector. Apple should a LEAST provide a separate connector free provided with the phone.
2. No google maps. I saw apples map and am not impressed. I must have google maps as the default and cannot do without google street view
3. There was nothing mentioning about extended or improved battery life with the new phone. This is a HUGE issue!
I will pass on this. I’m not too impressed and it’s not worth the extra cost.

Actually they did mention that combining the video & graphics chip into one improved the battery life….
Just sayin 🙂
What a piss off. Our dollar is at $1.02 today! Bastards…
$649 + TAX
i bought the 64gb iphone last year and paid the full price as i refuse to sign contracts but this $50 price increase turns me off. looking at the cost they are charging for the the connector and their silly headsphones i am pulling back more and more from buying this phone. just hoping its a typo and that they posted the american prices on the canadian site in error
For those in the west coast, head out to Portland where you can get the 5 not only cheaper but without sales tax.
We are talking about the Iphone 5.
@iphoneincanada:disqus i have a question about unlocked phones ive never bougt an unlocked phone ever so im not sure exactly how it works but could you buy the iPhone 5 at the full retail price and keep your current contract with yur carrier without any upgrade fees/extending contract or having to change the plan and have it just transferred over from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5 i made the mistake of Upgrading from a blackberry to an iPhone 4S instead of waiting for the iPhone 5 and i want to get one as soon as i save $700 so im wondering if i could buy the full retail price of the iPhone 5 with my current carrier and transfer my plan and contract over to the iPhone 5 from the 4S
