Freedom/Shaw offers one of the cheapest ways to get an iPhone 13 for $0 upfront

If you stare at carrier websites for long enough, you’re liable to go insane.

Maybe that’s what happened to me. Maybe not. The jury is still out on this one. But I am pretty sure that Freedom has the best deal on the iPhone 13 in Canada right now if you want to get one for $0 upfront.

The thing with carriers is they do some really messed up stuff with math. I’m not sure whether to applaud them or fear them, but the way they make numbers dance is impressive. I recently wrote about how much more you’d pay a Canadian carrier for an iPhone 13 compared to buying it directly from Apple. While the Big Three generally cost more than getting an iPhone from Apple, several regional carriers offered significant discounts.

SaskTel, Freedom and Videotron offered discounts ranging from $50 to over $500 when customers get an iPhone on a two-year plan. SaskTel generally offered the largest discount and thus lowest price on an iPhone.

However, as with anything involving a carrier, there’s more than meets the eye. First, to take advantage of these deals, you need to also get a plan with the carrier, and that’s where things get dicey. While SaskTel had the lowest cost for an iPhone, it also has the most expensive plans of the three carriers. Videotron had the cheapest plan, but the most expensive iPhone cost. That left Freedom in the middle, and when you tally everything up, it offers one of the absolute lowest costs for getting an iPhone on a carrier plan.

There may be other, lesser-known carriers I missed, but of these major regional carriers, Freedom definitely is the cheapest (except in Alberta and B.C., which I’ll explain below). Also, if you want a plan other than the cheapest possible option offered by each of these carriers, the lowest overall cost may change. I recommend doing the math to see which makes the most sense in the long run.

And, if I missed a carrier with a hidden good deal, or messed up some math somewhere, please let me know in the comments!

All right, let’s do some math

I will break down the math I did with each carrier to show the total costs you’d pay for an iPhone. Since it’s the most expensive option, I’ll start with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and include pricing for the other models below based on the same math (note calculations use 128GB pricing).

SaskTel

Starting with SaskTel, the carrier offers a roughly $500 discount on iPhone 13 models if you use its ‘Plus Pricing.’ Customers can choose an upfront cost (I went with $0 for this and all other calculations), a monthly device fee and a monthly rate plan. SaskTel’s cheapest rate plan option with the iPhone 13 Pro Max was $80, which means the calculation looks like this:

$0 upfront + ($42.75 device cost + $80 plan) * 24 months = $2,946 ($1,026 for the phone and $1,920 for the plan)

It’s worth noting that SaskTel also lets you choose to ‘Save on your plan’ and get a $20/mo discount. However, doing so removes the device discount, which means the device cost becomes $66.25/mo, and the plan drops to $60. The total works out to $3,030 with the same calculation as above, so it’s slightly more.

Videotron

Videotron is interesting because it currently offers 50 percent off its lowest plan, which is $65/20GB. That makes it $32.50 for six months. Over two years however, the plan would cost you $1,365 ($32.50 * 6 months = $195, and $65 * 18 months = $1,170).

This is by far the cheapest plan, but when you factor in the cost of an iPhone 13 Pro Max with Videotron, the total cost over two years doesn’t work out in customers’ favour:

$0 upfront + ($61.25 * 24 months) = $1,470 for the phone, + the $1,365 plan = $2,835 total over two years

Note the calculation is formatted slightly differently to account for the changing plan price.

Also, for fun, I calculated the Videotron cost if the 50 percent deal remained for the duration of the contract. In total, customers would pay $2,250 over two years. Unfortunately, that deal doesn’t exist.

Freedom/Shaw

Finally, Freedom offers a perfect balance of iPhone and plan price to ultimately become the cheapest option over two years. First, Freedom charges a $53/mo Tab fee for the iPhone 13 Pro Max and mandates a minimum $60/mo plan. That works out to:

$0 upfront + ($53 for the phone + $60 for the plan) * 24 months = $2,712 ($1,272 for the phone and $1,440 for the plan)

Also, it’s pertinent to note that Shaw, which owns Freedom, actually offers better pricing in Alberta and B.C. where it operates thanks to its incredibly cheap $45 plan. Shaw offers the same device cost as Freedom, which means that you’d pay $2,352 over two years for the iPhone 13 Pro Max at Shaw Mobile. However, I chose to focus on Freedom here because of its wider availability.

What about Apple and other carriers?

For the sake of comparison, I also included the cost if you were to buy a phone directly from Apple using the company’s 24-month 0 percent APR financing. In short, for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, you’d need a plan that costs $48.45/mo or cheaper to match or beat Freedom’s total $2,712 price over two years. I’ve listed my calculation and Apple’s financing costs below, along with the plan price needed to match or beat Freedom’s total price.

$2,712 Freedom cost - $1,549 Apple cost = $1,163 plan cost / 24 months = roughly $48.45

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max – $64.54/mo financing ($1,548.96 total) | $1,549 outright | $48.45 or cheaper plan
  • iPhone 13 Pro – $58.29/mo financing ($1,398.96 total) | $1,399 outright | $48.70 or cheaper plan
  • iPhone 13 – $45.79/mo financing ($1,098.96 total) | $1,099 outright | $49.20 or cheaper plan
  • iPhone 13 mini – $39.54/mo financing ($948.96 total) | $949 outright | $36.95 or cheaper plan

It typically doesn’t make sense to get an iPhone from the other carriers unless you’re willing to make some concessions. My previous calculations found that you’d pay more financing an iPhone 13 through one of the Big Three or their flanker brands than you’d pay to buy the same phone direct from Apple. That calculation didn’t include the cost of plans, but since most of the Big Three plans start at $80+ per month, they’re definitely out of the running.

Things are a little different with the flanker brands, where you can get a plan as low as $45 per month. Plus, if you don’t mind paying some money upfront and you can get by with a $45/4GB plan, you can actually save just a little with Fido, Koodo or Virgin Plus compared to Freedom (excluding with the 13 mini). Anything more than the $45 plan will cost more in the long run. Here’s the math for the iPhone 13 Pro Max on Koodo:

$801 upfront + $792 over 24 months ($33/mo) + $45/mo plan ($1,080 over 24 months) = $2,673 over two years

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max: $2,673 total ($801 upfront)
  • iPhone 13 Pro: $2,519 total ($647 upfront)
  • iPhone 13: $2,211 total ($339 upfront)
  • iPhone 13 mini: $2,056 total ($184 upfront)

It’s worth noting that Fido and Virgin both offer slightly lower upfront costs and slightly higher monthly costs, but the end result is within a couple dollars of Koodo’s (e.g. the 13 Pro Max costs $795 upfront and $2,675 total with Fido and Virgin).

If you managed to stick with me through all this confusing nonsense, you should now have a fairly clear idea of which way to get an iPhone 13 for cheap with a carrier in Canada. I’d argue it shouldn’t be this confusing to figure out pricing like this, but unfortunately, it’s not up to me.

The iPhone 13 batteries on average 13 percent larger than iPhone 12 series

We now know how much bigger the iPhone 13 series’ batteries are compared to the iPhone 12 line.

The information comes courtesy of a product information sheet on the website of hazardous material information company Chemtrec (spotted by 9to5Mac). According to that document, which contains information sourced from Apple directly, the iPhone 13 batteries are on average 13 percent larger, with the 13 Pro Max now giving the Nintendo Switch a run for its wattage money.

The Chemtrec document lists the battery sizes in watt-hours (Wh) rather than milliamp-hours (mAh). The Verge notes that most manufacturers use mAh, but Wh is typically a more accurate measurement and better way to compare battery life.

You can view the battery breakdown below:

The Verge also pointed out a few interesting changes and listed the Wh battery measurement of some other popular devices.

Starting with the changes, the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro have different battery sizes, while the 12 and 12 Pro had the same size. Also of note is that the 13 Pro’s battery is smaller than the iPhone 13.

That may be because of the additional hardware in the iPhone 13 Pro — it’s got an extra camera, GPU core and a 120Hz display packed into the same size body as the iPhone 13. In other words, it makes sense that the 13 Pro has a slightly smaller battery.

As for how the iPhone 13 stacks up to other devices, here are the Wh measurements of some other popular devices (via iFixit):

Considering that Apple made the expanded battery capacity of the iPhone 13 line a significant selling point in its event, I’m glad the company also backed up the claims with numbers. Now, we just need to see if the claims hold up in real-world testing — something we should learn once reviewers start testing the phones.

Expect to see at least one 60Hz display in the iPhone 14 series

Next year’s Apple iPhone 14 series will still include at least one model with a 60Hz display, according to a report from The Elec shared by MacRumors.

For context, the freshly-launched iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max are both equipped with LTPO OLED displays capable of supporting refresh rates of up to 120Hz.

However, The Elec claims that Apple still plans to use an LTPS OLED display in its iPhone 14 lineup, which means that at least one of the four expected models could sport a 60Hz display.

The decision to bring the iPad Pro’s ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate to the California tech giant’s phone series is a long-overdue one.

The first Android smartphone with a 120Hz display launched in back 2017, as the official Samsung U.S. Twitter account was happy to remind people.

With the iPhone 14 series announcement still a year away, Canadians hoping to snatch up an iPhone 13 with a 120Hz display will have to sit tight for now, as shipping dates for the Pro and Pro Max models have been pushed to late October.

iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max shipping dates slide to late October in Canada

If you’re in Canada and hoping to get your hands on an iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max on the smartphones’ September 24th release date, you’re about to be disappointed.

Just a few hours following iPhone 13 series pre-orders went live in Canada, delivery dates for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max slipped to between October 19th and 26th. This seems to be the case for all Pro and Pro Max storage configurations as far as I’ve been able to tell, including the pricey 1TB option.

On the other hand, the and iPhone 13’s delivery date remains September 24th. The iPhone 13 mini is now also pushed back to October 5th to the 13th. That being said, if you live near an Apple Store you might still be able to get one for in-store pickup on September 24th.

To put it lightly, the iPhone 13 ordering process through Apple’s website has not been smooth for many people. For example, the new 24-month financing option supplied by Paybright has been down for most of the day, with eager iPhone 13 buyers unable to place orders.

Buying an iPhone 13 from a Canadian carrier can cost up to $46 more

The iPhone 13 series went live for pre-order today, and Canadian carriers revealed their pricing in part of the yearly dance around Apple’s hotly-anticipated smartphones.

Considering that many Canadians will rush to secure their iPhone order, I thought it might be helpful to break down just how much more you’ll pay for an iPhone 13 with a carrier compared to buying it directly from Apple.

Of course, comparing all the prices across all possible device and plan configurations would be a lot. To keep it simple, I looked at the base 128GB model for each of the four levels of iPhone 13 (mini, regular, Pro and Pro Max). I also kept it to Big Three and their flanker brands as well as two of the larger regional carriers (Freedom/Shaw Mobile and Videotron).

Finally, I based the pricing information on the listed ‘retail price’ for each iPhone on a given carrier’s website. My reasoning here was simply that regardless of what financing or tab configuration you go for, after the 24-repayment period, customers almost always end up paying that listed retail price, give or take a few dollars.

As an example, Telus offers the iPhone 13 Pro Max for $0 upfront and $43.04/mo for 24 months with the carrier’s Bring-It-Back plan. In total, that works out to $1,592.96 over two years, just a few cents shy of the $1,593 retail price Telus lists on its website. Similarly, if you don’t do the Bring-It-Back option and pay $0 upfront and $66.38/mo financing, that’s $1,593.12 after two years.

Comparing carrier cost to Apple’s price

It’s worth noting that generally, the main and flanker brand pricing is very similar. Any differences usually stem from how flanker brands handle their financing (i.e. Fido limits the amount customers can finance while Koodo does a Tab system instead of financing). However, in some instances, the primary and flanker brand pricing does differ by a small amount (Fido charges $1 more on some iPhone 13 models than Rogers does).

In other words, this isn’t the be-all and end-all pricing list — the chart below is an example of the cost differences. If you’re considering buying a phone (iPhone or anything else) from a carrier, always take the time to calculate the price after two years of financing and compare it to buying the phone outright. I’ll dig into Apple’s financing options below.

As you can see, Bell typically charges the most for a given iPhone 13 model (I highlighted the most significant price differences with a red border around the cell). Videotron surprised me by being both consistently cheaper than everyone else and offering their iPhones for $1 less than buying it outright from Apple — if you live in Quebec, lucky you!

I will also note that as far as added cost goes, paying an extra $30 or so isn’t the end of the world. I’ve seen significantly worse carrier mark-ups in the past, sometimes as high as $100 more. Still, every dollar counts and if you can save $30, you might as well do it.

Apple’s financing is also worth considering if you don’t want to pay upfront

The downside to this is that not everyone can afford to drop $900+ on an iPhone in one go. Thankfully, Apple does offer financing if you choose to buy a phone directly from the company.

Even better, Apple just reverted to 24-month financing after briefly switching to six-month financing. Customers still pay the same amount, but the six-month financing made monthly payments for the phone quite a bit higher.

Across the board, Apple’s 24-month financing works out to be almost the same as paying all at once. Still, I included a breakdown of all the financing costs below.

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max – $64.54/mo financing ($1,548.96 total) | $1,549 outright
  • iPhone 13 Pro – $58.29/mo financing ($1,398.96 total) | $1,399 outright
  • iPhone 13 – $45.79/mo financing ($1,098.96 total) | $1,099 outright
  • iPhone 13 mini – $39.54/mo financing ($948.96 total) | $949 outright

All things considered, you’re probably better off buying an iPhone 13 direct from Apple at 0 percent APR unless you can sign up with Vidéotron. If you do choose to buy an iPhone 13 from a carrier, keep in mind that you’ll also need a plan with that carrier. Most carriers will limit your plan options depending on the phone you get (although the Big Three generally offer the same plans now, whether you bring your own phone or not).

In cases where you do have to subscribe to a more expensive cellular plan to get a new phone, it’s likely worth considering that extra monthly cost in your calculations.

Finally, keep in mind that things change. Sales and other promotions can impact the financing costs and sometimes make buying a phone from a carrier cheaper than getting it from Apple. It’s rare, but it does happen. Always remember to check the math and compare the actual cost with what Apple’s charging. The same often applies with phones from other manufacturers, but it can vary significantly between companies and carriers.

Apple’s iPhone 13 financing provider experiencing issues amid influx of buyers

Changing iPhone financing options from just six months to 24 months with 0 percent APR was a great surprise move on Apple’s part.

However, it seems the financing provider, Paybright by Affirm, has experienced difficulties this morning amid an influx of iPhone 13 series pre-orders.

Would-be buyers are experiencing bad gateway errors, stalled pages and the message, “There is a bit of a traffic jam. Please go back and try again,” resulting in orders not going through.

It’s unclear when Apple and Paybright will fix this issue. This story will be updated with more information as it becomes available.

Apple’s iPhone 13 is available on 24-month financing plans again

In a surprise move, Apple has brought back 24-month financing options for the iPhone just in time for the launch of iPhone 13 pre-orders.

When Apple revealed the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max on Tuesday, the tech giant also lowered all financing options for the iPhone to just 6 months. This resulted in substantial monthly payments across the board.

For example, the iPhone 13 Pro cost $233.16 per month on a six-month repayment plan, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max costs $258 on a six-month repayment plan. Now, however, Apple has reversed that change.

The iPhone 13 Pro now costs $58.29 per month for 24 months on a financing plan, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max costs $64.54 per month. All iPhone 13 financing plans also feature 0 percent APR. It’s important to note that the 0 percent APR offer will likely only be available for a limited time.

In fact, all iPhone models, including the iPhone 13 series, the iPhone 12 series and even the iPhone SE, have 24-month financing. Some reports indicate that Paybright’s system is either down or very slow due to an influx of people trying to buy the iPhone 13 series.

It’s unclear why Apple reversed this decision or why it even lowered financing plans to six months in the first place. Similar to Samsung’s various financing options, a 24-month repayment plan makes it much easier to circumvent purchasing the iPhone 13 through a carrier plan if you aren’t looking to buy the device outright.

Apple’s various iPad models, including the new iPad mini, are still locked to 6-month financing options. For more information on iPhone 13 series carrier availability, follow this link.

Apple’s iPhone 13 series is now available to pre-order in Canada

Apple’s iPhone 13 series, including the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, are now available for pre-order in Canada.

While the smartphone line is very similar to last year’s iPhone 12 family, the entire series features a smaller display notch, Apple’s A15 Bionic chip, a new video mode that allows for selective software-powered focus, battery life improvements and sensor shift camera technology.

The 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini and 6.1-inch iPhone 13 have specifically received upgrades to their wide and ultrawide cameras that should result in better quality images and improved low-light performance. This year’s base-level iPhone colours include the following: ‘Pink,’ ‘Blue,’ ‘Midnight,’ ‘Starlight’ and ‘Product Red.’

On the other hand, the 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max feature displays with a 120Hz refresh rate and, as usual, 2.5x and 2x optical zoom, respectively, through their telephoto lens.

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

Apple’s iPhone 13 line is set to be available on September 24th.

Note: We’re still waiting on Canadian carrier pricing for Apple’s entire iPhone 13 lineup. This story will be updated with a brief overview of that information when it becomes available.
