iPhone 4 to be sold Factory Unlocked in Canada

The long awaited Apple iPhone 4 is to be sold online factory unlocked according to the Apple Store.  Unlike the USA where AT&T has exclusive dealership to the Apple iPhone, Canada has 3 network carriers providing the iPhone 3Gs – Rogers Wireless, Koodo Mobility and Bell Mobility.  Carriers will still continue to sell their branded and locked iPhone 4, however, users will still be able to purchase them outright from apple “commitment free”.

When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, you’ll get it commitment-free. So you can sign up for service with the carrier of your choice and change your carrier at any time.

This will give users the freedom to use their iPhone on any network of their choice without any obligations to their network carrier.  Further, it will allow users to use their beloved iPhone with international travel, avoiding paying up the roof roaming fees.

We’re not exactly sure when the iPhone 4 will be released in Canada, but please hold off on buying your AT&T iPhone 4s Canadian residents!  They’re going for about $900+ USD on e-bay at the moment, but I’m sure Apple will be selling them cheaper when it arrives in Canada.  Buying the unlocked iPhones on e-bay won’t allow you to update to the latest firmwares, where the new iPhones should have absolutely no problems doing so!
