As most may have heard already, Apple will be launching their iPhone 4 this Friday (July 30, 2010) in 17 other countries. Canada being one of said 17. Putting aside all the “Antennagates” debacles, Apple will be selling their new iPhone 4 unlocked from their Online and Retail stores. With that being said, comes quite the large price tag. Respectively, the 16GB iPhone 4 will be priced at $659 and $779 for the 32GB.

Sure having an unlocked phone gives you the freedom to do as you please, and doesn’t put you in to a 3 year contract predicament, but with the hefty pricing, we find it hard to believe that many will be purchasing it outright.

You will still be able to pick up the iPhone 4 from either of the big 3 (Rogers, Telus or Bell), for subsidized pricing— $199 for the 16GB and $299 for the 32GB.

Knowing this, how many of you think you will be purchasing the iPhone 4 Unlocked directly from Apple?
