Knowing the iPhone 4 price in Canada could come in really handy, if you’re thinking of buying Apple’s smartphone that changed everything last June 2010. Being the 4th generation release of the iPhone that is so hotly demanded worldwide, the iPhone 4 brought us the record-setting Retina Display with the sharpest resolution on a smartphone that still remains unbeaten to date. Bundle this with the latest iOS 5, the Apple App Store, an A4 processor, and a 5MP camera that shoots 720p HD video, choosing this smartphone is certainly a natural choice indeed. You can get it by buying it either unlocked, or locked as in tied down to a carrier’s contract.

iPhone 4 Price in Canada – Locked or Unlocked?

Purchasing the iPhone 4 unlocked would give you the SIM-free version, which gives you the freedom to get any micro-SIM card under any supported plan from any GSM carrier worldwide. The most reliable source is from the maker themselves, the Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. The unlocked iPhone 4 price in Canada for the 8GB retails at $549, with both color choices of black or white.

The downside of buying the unlocked iPhone 4 is the higher upfront cost, and the availability of only the downsized 8GB model, which was previously 16GB and 32GB that is now present in the latest iPhone 4S. So if you prefer a lower upfront cost, you can opt to purchase the regular locked iPhone 4 which is under a contract by any one of the 8 major carriers in Canada.

iPhone 4 Price in Canada – Roger Wireless

Under the 1st carrier, Rogers Wireless, you can get the iPhone 4 8GB Black for FREE under monthly plans that last for 3 years, with the cheapest plan going at $52.35/month for 200 minutes and 500MB data, $62.35/month featuring 200 minutes with 2GB data as 1 of its 3 options, and up to $72.35/month for 500 minutes with 1GB data. Alternatively, Rogers also offers the unlocked iPhone 4 without contract at the same price of $549 as found in the Apple Store.

iPhone 4 Price in Canada – Bell

The 2nd carrier Bell offers the iPhone 4 8GB at $49.95 and the 32 GB at $199.95 under a minimum $50/month plan lasting for 3 years. The $50/month plan essentially offers you 200 minutes and 500MB of data, with the option to choose a $65/month plan for 300 minutes and 2GB data, or $100/month for 1000 minutes and 4GB data. The advantage with Bell is the availability of the 32GB model, which also retails for $769.95 if you choose to get it without contract, while the 8GB retails at $549.95.

iPhone 4 Price in Canada – Telius Mobility & Fido

Under the 3rd carrier Telius Mobility, you can also obtain the iPhone 4 8GB and 32 GB at similar prices of $49. This discounted price comes bundled with a 3 year plan at a minimum of $50/month, which also provides 200 minutes and 500MB data. The upgraded $65/month plan provides 300 minutes with 1GB data, while the largest $100 plan provides 600 minutes and 5GB data. The price without plan for the 8GB is $549, and the 32 GB at $749. Considering that both are discounted to the same $49 price under 3-year contracts, it is certainly more worthwhile to take the 32GB model instead.

Moving on to the 4th carrier Fido, the iPhone 4 8GB can also be obtained in black or white for FREE ($0), with the same 3-years requirement at a minimum of $25/month that provides 150 minutes and unlimited texts, plus a Data Add-on of at least $10 for 100MB.

iPhone 4 Price in Canada from Koodo

The 5th carrier Koodo Mobile retails the iPhone 4 8GB at a discounted $390 ($150 savings from the full retail price of $540) under its unique feature called the Koodo Tab, which allows you to accumulate 10% of the costs of your phone bill towards offsetting the $150 Tab. Alternatively, if you choose the regular 3-year term instead, then the iPhone 4 8GB is available at only $50, with a range of voice and message plans from $15/month up to $45/month. Data plans are available under the budget Data Saver starting at $5/month for 25MB data, up to the Data Connect 2GB plan for $25/month.

iPhone 4 Price in Canada from MTS

Covering the 6th carrier MTS, the iPhone 4 8GB costs $49.99 on a 36-month term, $99.99 for the 16GB, and finally $199.99 for the 32GB, under a minimum $44.99/month voice and data plan. Alternatively, MTS also offers the iPhone 4 at the full retail prices of $549.99 (8GB), $649.99 (16GB), and $749.99 (32GB) on a month-to-month plan, which is equivalent to buying the unlocked iPhone and choosing a flexible plan each month.

The 7th carrier SaskTel also prices the iPhone 4 similarly at $49.99 for the 8GB, $74.99 for the 16GB, and $99.99 for the 32GB under various 3-year contracts. With a wide range of separate voice and data plans to choose from, the likely choice would be the combined voice and data plan at $60/month for 400 minutes and 10GB data if you’re based in Saskatchewan.

iPhone 4 Price in Canada from Virgin Mobile

Finally, the 8th carrier Virgin Mobile has a SuperTab feature similar to the Koodo Tab, which allows you to pay only $49.99 for the iPhone 4 8GB and 16GB by putting the balances of $500 (8GB) and $610 (16GB) respectively on SuperTab. The same price is also obtained by signing up under a 3-year contract with data plan. Meanwhile the 32GB model goes at $199.99 ($570 on SuperTab). Since the iPhone 4 requires both voice and data, the likely choice would be the $50/month Smartphone Plan that provides you with 200 minutes, unlimited messages, and 500MB data with additional data at $10/GB.

Best iPhone 4 Prices in Canada

As there are so many choices in the iPhone 4 price in Canada, it can be confusing trying to find the best possible deal that suits your needs. Note that the last 3 carriers covered here offer all 3 choices of the iPhone 4: 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB. We hope that this guide has proved useful, and whether you choose the unlocked or the locked iPhone 4, using both voice and data plans is a must for the iPhone 4 to function as your all-in-one smartphone that Apple has destined it to be.
