UPDATE: So I was just thinking about the wording – and I think the key is “Buy your iPhone from Apple commitment-free.” So my take is you pay the full price for the phone from Apple and it comes unlocked. If you buy the phone from one of our wireless providers with the subsidized price, it will be locked to that carrier for the duration of the contract. Of course if you pay to get out of your contract early you could probably get the phone unlocked at that point as well.
The Canadian Apple online store is once again live. And it offers some interesting information about the iPhone 4 here in Canada.
Yes, we can’t pre-order it yet, but the above picture seems to indicate the iPhone 4 will be unlocked, or at least Apple will unlock it for you if you want to change carriers.
The caption from the website reads ….
It works with the carrier of your choice. Buy an iPhone from the Apple Online Store and choose your own GSM carrier. You can change carriers at any time.
This could also mean Apple will unlock your your current 3G or 3GS. Almost all our wireless providers currently offer the iPhone, so I’ve been speculating for a while now that this could lead to an unlocked phone here in Canada.
I’ll update the story as more information becomes available. But for right now it appears as though us Canadians might have to wait a little longer for the iPhone 4, but it will be worth the wait.
As expected, Steve Jobs walked onto the stage for his keynote address at WWDC and unveiled Apple’s newest iPhone. iPhone 4! As the title of this post indicates, the slogan for iPhone 4 – This changes everything. Again.
The new iPhone really is a re-work. From the form factor, to the internal guts, this is a new phone.
Here is a quick video with a rundown of some of the new features. Enjoy and let me know what you think of the new iPhone.
I always enjoy a big Apple event – and in my mind there wasn’t any bigger than Friday May 28th, 2010 in Edmonton. Not only was the iPad launched internationally, but it also marked the grand opening of the second Apple store in the city. This one located in Southgate Centre.
As I mentioned in my previous entry, I arrived at 5:30am and was about 25th in line for the iPad. It was for my dad, and he picked it up Sunday morning and was so happy. That made standing in line for 2.5 hours well worth it.
It’s been a slow rollout prior to the official launch of the iPad in Canada, but we can now download Apple’s iWorks apps. The on device app store has been live since last Thursday, but the big missing apps were those from Apple. Continue reading »
If you are one of those Canadians looking to stop by an Apple store Friday for the launch of the iPad, you’ll need to get out of bed a little earlier. Apple will start selling the popular device in its stores at 8am.
At most slocations this should clear out the lines before the stores are open to the general public not looking for the iPad. I say most stores because the same day, Apple has its grand opening of its second retail store in Edmonton. It’s located in Southgate Centre. As per usual during an opening, the first 1000 people through the door will receive a free t-shirt.
Rogers has finally responded to the iPad shared data option that showed up on the Apple website when iPad pre-orders started being accepted early Monday morning. In a nutshell, Roger says it is sorry for all the confusion and that it wants to have a shared data option, it’s just not ready to announce or implement it.
Here is what RogersKeith had to say on the Rogers RedBoard just minutes ago…
UPDATE: Telus will ALSO be seeing the iPhone next month. You can check out the details on its website. That means Canadians can get the iPhone on all 3 major carriers.
It’s been rumoured for months and this morning it’s official. Starting next month (November) Canadians will have another choice when it comes to which carrier they want to use with their iPhone – Rogers or Bell.
Back in July I mentioned using your BlackBerry and Mac together was going to get a lot easier. That time is fast approaching. The new BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac will be released Friday October 2nd. So all you BlackBerry owners using Mac’s – at least you have half the equation right – can stop using Boot Camp or whatever program you use to run Windows on your Mac.
With the environment and climate change being two of the biggest world issues right now, there are many companies more concerned about greenwashing than actually trying to make a difference. This may have been true about Apple several years ago, but that is changing. The company named after a fruit is turning a new leaf – Apple has launched a new microsite aimed at letting everyone know just how its products and the company impact our environment.
Myself like many other iPhone 3GS owners have decided against jailbreaking our devices. For me, the big reason I would jailbreak my 3G was so that I could shoot video using Cycorder. But with the 3GS’ video capabilities I don’t need that app anymore. But a new application coming soon may sway some people to rethink jailbreaking.
