Period

2008

Canada

The iPhone 3G was launched in Canada by Rogers Wireless Inc. in July 2008 a full year after the iPhone (original) was launched in the United States. Presently (2009) Rogers Wireless Inc. is the sole company in Canada licensed to distribute the iPhone as part of an exclusivity deal that the telecommunications company made with Apple Inc. This particular iPhone was given to members of the media, prior to the launch, allowing them to become familiar with the product with the expectation that they would write about their experiences and spark discussion about the product. The media coverage prior to the launch of the iPhone (in the United States) and later the iPhone 3G (in Canada) was so complete, it created a desire for a product that not been formally completed or launched.
