A New iPhone Coming to Canada !!
Yesterday, Engadget got some tips about a post on the Apple Insider website, showing details about a new iPhone coming to Canada, via the SaskTel carrier. The President and CEO of SaskTel talked to the Leader Post in order to reveal details about its soon-to-be-available, new and improved 3G network, which will start operating on July 1st and, at some point, he said the following: “The good news is that (Apple) is coming out with a new version of the iPhone in the June time-frame and they’re going to put us on that. So we’re quite excited about that.”
The Saskathewan-based telecommunications company will be indeed completing the first stages of its third-generation 3G wireless network and SaskTel users will be having access to it from July the 1st. The whole project will be finished by the end of the year and, so far, we can guarantee that this is true.
Now, about Apple releasing a new model of the iPhone in Canada, we can’t really tell you if it’s true or false. Perhaps the president and CEO of SaskTel, Robert Wilson, got a little carried away in the heat of the moment, as the company’s new network is a major improvement there, but I honestly do not believe what he said about a new iPhone. Surely, the SaskTel clients that currently have an iPhone will get better wireless connections via the new 3G network, but Apple is somewhat busy with the iPad right now.
And, if you look at the success that the iPad has had in America and all the previous iPhone launches, I am sure that Apple Inc. will be releasing a new type of iPhone on American soil at first. Think about it, Apple has just announced the iPhone OS 4.0, and, until a new phone is developed, there has to be a larger period of time prior to an actual public release. Plus, we thought that Apple had other plans, like the iPhone HD.
