Canadian iPhone sales fell by 50%

mac.blorge.com — Apple’s wireless partner in the Great White North, Rogers Communications, says its fourth quarter iPhone sales were only half of those recorded for Q3. The easy explanation is that the recession is really starting to bite, but that’s likely only part of the story.

  • RogerStrong, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2The housing market in Alberta has settled down to "hot" from "insane".

    And while oil has dropped to $50 a barrel, remember, it's not that long since oil first rose above $50. That was enough to heat things up in northern Alberta.

    Southern Alberta has been building windmill farms left and right.
  • BoneStamp, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2It's good to hear about the windmill farms. I remember living in Calgary in the 80s and my neighbor's engineering firm was marketing home windmills then.
  • NekoIan, on 02/11/2009, -0/+1They dropped their 6GB / month limit to 500MB - 2GB. Screw that.
  • RogerStrong, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1What happenned was, the iPhone 3G was the hot new phone in Q3. There was no new iPhone in Q4. The BlackBerry Storm was the hot new phone of Q4 - on Telus and Bell.

    Outside of the auto-production areas of southern Ontario, the recession isn't having much effect in Canada. Christmas sales here in Manitoba were up over last year.
  • BoneStamp, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Alberta and Saskatchewan are starting to slow now that the price of oil is below the profit threshold for oil sands. Alberta will fair better than SK since it has more homogeneous oil.
