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

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.
