Lol did you order it not realizing the price?

Unfortunately it's been like that since the 6 I think. Between Plus size, higher store having price premiums, and the currency exchange, I think I've been paying ~$1300 tax in since the 6 Plus launched.

I ordered it on pre-order night at 1 am. I thought it was $1230 with tax haha. I have a 256GB 7+ with AC+ that's doing just fine, I'm good for the year.

Damn the 8 Plus is PRICEY! I picked my 256GB SG Plus this morning and it was $1332.45 all in (Alberta so I'm actually paying less than most). It's going back sealed. I'm keeping my 7 Plus. If anyone in Edmonton wants it for exact cost let me know! I got caught up in the pre-order! :)

Yes, but such a sweet phone. No regrets here.

Fido will NOT be carrying the X

as per the Fido rep:

The reason for my question is because Fido will not carry iPhone X. While we’d like nothing more than to carry all the different new iPhone models, the fact is, we make inventory decisions based on the trends we see from our customers. This year we’re focusing on iPhone models that we think will be most popular with our customers. Overall, we’ll have a great selection of iPhones in different sizes and colours.

You can also get iPhone X directly from Apple unlocked and use it with your Fido sim card, we have a great selection of BYOP plans available!​

I'm with Fido too, I guess they'll be surprised when they see I'm activating a sim in an iPhone X hahahah

I was really tempted to go to Eaton Centre today and pick one up and already sold out? Talk about a bungled launch! they used to get 1000's of phones on launch day.. I wandered by an hour ago and the line up was 10ppl and was heading back around 11..

Oh well, guess i'll wait till next year. . .
Hi

Have you considered just returning yours? They have a liberal return policy. Will be hard to sell yours for cost. Demand is soft for the phone.

Yep. Going back Sunday if no one wants it. No biggie at all.

Do store receive iPhone on Saturday?

In Ottawa they don't have iPhone 8 Space Grey (64 GB) anymore. They said me they will receive new one on Friday, but they didn't. So maybe today they will get some? They said me they update the reservation website around 10am and 1pm.

Preorders go up soon for the X. I saw Rogers had some pre-approval service going on. Also, I assume Sim free versions will be available for Canadians at Apple.com like they always are.

ya question is how many phones will be available in Canada. I honestly have a feeling not one person will get phone on Nov 3 in Canada. Pre-orders will probably start with December shipping.

There's no way that not one Canadian will get one at launch. It has already been confirmed that the major carriers will have stock on launch day. Will the number of phones sent to Canada be much lower than usual? Absolutely.

I'd pre-order one but I just can't imagine going from a 7 Plus screen size down to the iPhone X... Looks like I'll keep this one another year or wait until Black Friday and maybe pick up an 8 Plus to roll with for a year...

This has been debated to death, the iphone X screen is barely smaller than the 8+. Its the actual size of the whole phone that is a stark contrast (because of the bezels).

You do know 7 plus screen size is 5.5 inches and 10 screen size is 5.8 inches. Yeah the screen size on gs8+ is 6.2 inches , so 0.4 inches difference isn't that much. I'm going be switching over from a gs8+ to iPhone 10.

You're high as a bird's poossy if you think the plus isn't bigger in landscape mode...

Yes, I'm not retarded... I know exactly which phone is bigger in landscape mode... Apparently you don't...

Question about pre-ordering on the Apple Store app.

Coworkers and I are on a Rogers work plan together. We want to order the X under a new contract discount (we all bought unlocked out of contract 7’s last year).

Can we use the Apple Store app tonight to pre-order for in-store pickup or delivery and get the discounted phone? We’ve seen mixed reports of people being able to do this from the iPhone 8 launch.

Currently when we go to the app, there doesn’t seem to be any way to select a carrier (in our case Rogers) - only able to select the iPhone X model, color, etc. We’re especially confused because several of us used to live in the states - where the opposite problem exists (unlocked phones are harder to pre-order via Apple Store in some cases).

TLDNR: Can we ONLY pre-order directly through Rogers if we want the contract discount?

As far as I know, if you want the contract discount in Canada you'll have to go through rogers or an authorized 3rd party retailer such as best buy to buy the phone.

Anyone know if I pre-order online and choose in-store pickup, do I have to wait in the line (if there is one) or will I have priority?

No, Apple app and apple.ca are only for unlocked full price. Any carrier phones have to be ordered through carrier.
