Canada iPhone 6 thread!

anyone able to reserve phone today on apple site?
i am trying since 12 but it never reserves.. always gives error

it works for me but most of the locations here in Toronto are either sold out on the Gold/Silver or just 16GB left BUT plenty of space grey models in all sizes

----------

I have just reserved a pickup for a 6, space grey 64 gb

Now I am currently using a iphone 4 which uses a micro sim. I am a fido customer, will they have a nano sim in store that they will be able to provide to me? how does that usually work?

Is your phone a hardware upgrade or are you still in contract?
Mine was a hardware upgrade and I'm no longer in contract with Fido but renew with them through Apple. They gave me a free sim card the day when I picked up the iP6.
*Fido as well*

I was successful in making a reservation today at around 12:05 for the Metrotown, Vancouver store.

I bought a nano sim from fido, paid the $12 including tax not knowing that apple would be able to give me one for free (I didn't see the helpful advice above in time unfortunately). No big deal, I got my iPhone 6 set up in the store and I am really stoked with it.

I am on a BYO month by month plan. I opted to keep my current plan and just buy outright. I am traveller here on working visa and have no idea what I will be doing in one month, let alone 24 months.

At 12AM, everyone is hammering the reserve button as fast as they can. It might be better to snipe the smaller shipments throughout the day (usually in the afternoon). There's a few free notifications scripts out there or pay services like http://www.iphonestock.ca which can send you emails and SMS alerts when reservations are available.

Someone just go to the store and see if have any iPhone 6+ avaliable in the stock? If not, they say when it ill be avaliable?

I reserved a 6+ 128GB Space Grey right at midnight EST. Picking it up today from the Masonville store.

Picking up the iPhone I reserved last night at 5pm today. Just checked my pre-order for a 6+ 64GB SG (ordered Sept 12th) that was supposed to ship Oct 14-22, the status just changed to Preparing to Ship! Which capacity do I really want?

Consider that you could still be a week to get it if you wait for your pre-order. Mine shipped from China last Friday.... Still waiting

In Canada, will buying an iPhone outright save you money compared to getting one with a 2-year contract?

Depends on your Carrier. If they will provide you a "bring your own phone", or "No Tab" discount", then buying outright is the way to go.

Because of my work, I’m often in the States and on the road
Is it possible to buy the iPhone6 In the States, bring it in Canada and activate it with Telus ?

Thanks,

Thanks,

That's what i did just make sure to buy the T-Mobile no contract from Apple Store which will be unlocked

Rogers must have just got a shipment in for reservations. I went from dropping a few positions per day since last friday to jumping from ~90 last night to "In progress" today.

Fido is offering a bring your own phone discount. 10% off the $60 plan which is unlimited call and text across Canada and 1GB of data. Not bad...

Good to know! I just noticed they revamped their website, before they listed every single store in Canada but now you can pin point the location(s) to be refreshed every 5 seconds! Good luck

Alright cool, thanks. I'll update you too if my UPS gets a new scan

 

[marchiore]

Someone could tell me if it is still having many rows in Vancouver stores?

 

[heisenberg123]

mine is now in Okasa Japan

is this normal for canadian orders?

when I order from apple.ca for an item in stock it usually goes through Louisville, items coming direct from China skip the US and come straight to Canada from Japan?

That http://www.ashbalu.com/iphone2.php just got me a 64GB Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus! Been checking that site like crazy and reserved one for pickup later tonight. Checked back on ashbalu site and it was gone. Everyone is so fast lol. Just a question though, if I put reserve for pickup between 6-7 can i go in earlier and claim it or will the apple geniuses be busy with other appointments. Gonna get of work early so I want to go right then lol
