Are you sure about that? I'm thinking in North America for pre-orders it's first come, first served. The SKU that we're getting will be the same as what's being sold by T-Mobile and AT&T (the delta being that the Americans are forced to activate them with a Carrier contract, so it's SIM locked).
Heh....you don't think that's because how "dorky" AirPods look when you're wearing them? 🙂 Yes, I have a pair. No, I don't wear them anywhere except maybe walking in the park. (love having them at home for conference calls though).
That's just because of their population. It's luck of the draw. Our shipments come out of the US for the most part (either broken up in Alaska or their distribution centre in Tennessee).
Oh i absolutely wouldn't know either way for sure. I would just think that under those circumstances (given how hungry the demand is in the US), there may be a scenario where Canadians get next to none at launch. You may be right though, i honestly have no idea how they distribute their product geographically.
Well, in recent times, it seems that it's first-come, first-served for device shipments (in North America at least). Regions that have different SKU's than the US have a tougher time of it. We've had threads with people comparing order times with shipping dates and it seems we're given the same priority as the Americans.
I see much more iPhones users than Android, I don't think people care that much about bb. Many bb users I know switched to ios instead of Android. This might depend on regions also.
That would be great as we'll have access to the largest number of stock worldwide (by a significant margin). I've noticed that iPhone's are more popular among the older and younger generations, both of which i see having a hard time stomaching the cost of the phone and all that goes along with it. Remember, most smartphone plans in Canada start at $100 after tax nowadays, its insane. Luckily I'm on a business plan.
Heh....very true. 🙂 Here in Waterloo, there's much more Android (and still a lot of people sporting BlackBerry devices...even though they haven't been made by them for a few years now).
Yeah, I'm lucky I have a loyalty plan I squeezed out of Fido. Unfortunately, I can't light up the LTE side of my watch until Rogers enables eSIM provisioning on their network (next year it seems).
Rogers executives have often said that they don't like having to discount iphones as part of only a 2 year contract. The other phones are given to Rogers on way better pricing terms whereby they make a ton more money off of it.
As long as the oligopoly continues to exist, that is a pipe dream that's never going to happen.
Ah, you're getting the 256, but not getting AC+.
Wow! I didn't realize that the HST wasn't standardized across the board. That's just nasty!! 🙁
I would love to keep the phone naked but I'm completely OCD and hate even the most minimal hairline scratches on my devices. Also I would like to save the money on applecare as i plan to sell the phone in August, so case it is for me.
No, HST is for Ontario. Harmonized sales tax is the combination of the federal tax rate (5%) along with the applicable provincial tax rate (which in Ontario is 8%). Lovetomacrumor's province must have a 10% provincial tax rate.
I've liked the smaller phones (had a 5s for the longest time) - didn't know what Apple was going to do for the SE, so I finally caved and got a 6s. But, I've really resented Apple putting the better camera in the + sized phone. I don't want a damn iPhad!!! GRRR!!!
Well, it's not just the FPS, it's also the bitrate used for the encoding. Pretty sure these support H.265 encoding, so that should help immensely. I guess it would be somewhat ironic if Apple did use a high bitrate for their iPhone video encoding, considering how low their iTunes bitrates are. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂 Found an article on it - same value you've given.
You guys get WAY better pricing on cell plans out there though (if Alberta's anything like Saskatchewan and Manitoba).
