Several Canadian carriers now offer pre-registration to pre-order iPhone 13 Pro

Following yesterday’s massive Apple event, several Canadian carriers have updated their websites with pre-registration forms and iPhone 13 pages.

Unfortunately, the pricing isn’t live yet (keep an eye on MobileSyrup for the latest on that), but you can read about the iPhone 13 and pre-register to pre-order when orders go live on September 17th. We’ve detailed the carriers and flanker brands that have pre-registration forms below and included links to the forms:

Interestingly, Bell did not have a pre-registration page, but on the carrier’s homepage was a picture of the iPhone 13 Pro and text reading “Order on September 17.” Other carriers and flanker brands don’t mention the iPhone 13, although I’m sure that will change as we near the September 17th pre-order date.

Those who pre-register are signing up to get updates from that carrier about iPhone pre-orders when they go live probably later this week.

If you’re not interested in getting an iPhone 13 or 13 Pro from a carrier, or if you’re looking to buy one of Apple’s other fancy new gadgets (like the revamped iPad mini), you can check out our full Canadian pricing breakdown here.

Are you interested in Apple’s iPhone 13 series lineup?

Apple has announced its 2021 lineup of smartphones, including the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max.

The devices are largely very similar to the iPhone 12 series, but there are a couple of new colours and features.

For example, while both the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max measure in at the same size as last year, 6.1-inches and 6.7-inches, respectively, they now feature 120Hz refresh rate displays.

This year’s Pro and Pro Max colours include ‘Graphite,’ ‘Gold,’ ‘Silver,’ and the new aqua blue-like ‘Sierra Blue.’

Furthermore, the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 look similar to their predecessors, including the squared-off sides, a visible notch on the display, and a sizable camera bump. Both smartphones also still come in at 5.4-inches and 6.1-inches, respectively.

Colours for the iPhone 13 include ‘Pink,’ ‘Blue,’ ‘Starlight,’ ‘Midnight’ and ‘(Product)Red.’

Additionally, Apple has added a ‘Cinematic Mode’ video mode that utilizes AI to recognize when a person enters the frame or when your subject is facing the camera and blurs and focuses the background accordingly.

Overall, unlike last year, the iPhone 13 series is a relatively expected update to Apple’s smartphone line. With that in mind are you planning to buy an iPhone 13?
