Year: 2010

Apple has released iOS 4 — the latest version of the operating system formerly known as the iPhone OS — for the iPhone and iPod touch. It’s available for download from iTunes for iPhone 3GS and 3G users, as well as by second- and third-generation iPod touch users. The new OS will also be included with the iPhone 4.

According to “iPhoneinCanada” (http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/main-page/apple-to-open-five-new-stores-in-canada/) this summer and fall Apple will be opening five new Canadian stores in the following cities:
° Quebec: Quebec City (one location);

° British Columbia: Richmond Centre (Richmond; one location);

° Ontario: Upper Canada Mall (Toronto; one location);

° Alberta: Chinook Centre and Southgate (Calgary/Edmonton; two locations).

The Southgate Apple Store location has already opened (on May 28). Currently, Apple has 15 retails stores in Canada.

Apple has notified customers who were among the first to pre-order an iPhone 4 that they can expect to receive the device by June 24, which is the official on-sale date for iPhone 4 in the U.S., reports “InformationWeek” (http://macosg.me/2/es).

The company sent out official Shipment Notification e-mails, along with Federal Express tracking information, to those customers over the weekend. Fed Ex tracking documents show that the devices are being shipped directly from a facility in Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
