iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders now open

Apple has opened up its pre-order page for unlocked iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus which are slated to arrive in Canada on the 19th. Ordering systems in Canada opened at 3 AM without issue while some buyers in the US were frustrated by glitchy pre-order pages.

Aside from two sizes at 4.7-inched and 5.5-inches, interested parties will have to select a finish (silver, gold and space grey) and capacities ranging from 16GB, 64GB or 128GB. As for carriers, TELUS, Rogers and Bell all have their specific pre-order pages up and running.

Demand for new iPhones has been traditionally high in Canada and this year, having larger screens, two-sizes and a range of storage capacities, it is expected to be no different. Ordering an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus? Which one are you getting and why. Let us know below.
