iPhone to have Product (RED) for Christmas?

For those of you who want a little pizzaz in your iPhone colors? There could be a possible glimmer of hope in your lineup from Apple, courtesy of the popular Product (RED) line. The photo provided is a bit vibrant for red (to the point of it almost being candy-apple red) but it may do very well as with most iPod colors, you have to see it in person to actually get the feel for it. Plus, people generally get cases for the iPhone, so it may not matter at all at some point. If the rumor is in fact true, it’s pointing for a Christmas-shopping season release which is nothing new to Apple and their product lines.

Apple not selling iPhone 3G in Apple Canada Retail Stores

Well… The petitions may have worked, but not in the customer’s favor. According to AppleInsider, Apple has pulled the iPhone 3G from their retail stores in Canada in response to customer’s outrage with how, shall we say, crappy the data plans are on Rogers Wireless.

According to a private conference call Monday evening, Rogers and Fido will have to make a plan for iPhone customers with a minimum of 150 minutes, 75 text messages, and 400MB of data, all for $60/month on a 3-year contract. Compared to the AT&T plans in the US (450 minutes, no texting, unlimited data), that is very unfair, but it’s typically how things go in Canada.

Only Roger and affiliates will be able to sell them, yet Apple will have demo units if you decide you want to play with them. Where this will lead it’s not for sure, but you have to love this quote from Apple:

“We have nothing to do with the service plans. Those are Rogers’ plans.”
