8GB iPhone 3GS Rumour Refuses To Die (Because It Might Be True)

5:35AM John Herrman | When we asked Rogers about the 8GB iPhone 3GS semi-featured on their website, they said this: “There is no 8GB 3GS iPhone.” Case closed! Except this rumour is back, with evidence. Someone at Rogers is either confused, lying, or both. More »

Is Apple Releasing An 8GB iPhone 3GS? (Probably Not)

12:33AM John Herrman | Would Apple really ship something so weirdly regressive and line-mudding as that? Yes, according to Canadian carrier Rogers’ website. Also, no, according to Canadian carrier Rogers’ website, and salespeople. Let’s take a gander at the evidence! More »

Apple Not Selling iPhones in Canadian Apple Stores on Launch Day

2:41AM Jason Chen | Apple’s apparently so fed up with the high pricing that Rogers is shoving into Canadian iPhone owners’ faces that there will be no iPhone 3Gs sold at Apple Stores in Canada this Friday. This follows up Apple’s previous action of diverting stock from Canada to Europe, and really sets the tone that they’re unhappy with Rogers’ $60 for 150 minutes, 75 SMS messages and 400MB data plan. So what’s the deal? Canadians who still want one will have to line up early to get one of the 10-20 units per store that Rogers is getting. If we were you, we’d stay home and wait for Rogers to admit defeat, stop slapping its customers in the face and lower its prices. [Apple Insider] More »

A US$75 a month plan comes with a mandatory 3-year contract, 100 text messages, 300 weekday minutes, and a 750MB cap on 3G usage. To combat this injustice, Canadians have appealed to the top dog himself, Steve Jobs, in a letter asking him to intervene on their behalf. More »
