How is that possible? While we don�t want to disappoint our Canadian readers that can already buy the iPhones, this is not exactly the same product you�re thinking about.
The iPhones in question are just cheap $1 headphones manufactured by little known company Electra, which supplies the Dollarama bargain stores chain. Not surprisingly the iPhones were spotted in a Dollarama store in Montreal. Nevertheless, this seems to be a total spin on iPhone�s popularity in Canada, including the letters capitalization.
And as for why something like this is allowed to be sold in Canada, the answer is rather simple. So far Apple didn�t have a chance to trademark the iPhone in Canada, since its trademark registration is being contested by Comwave, another company that used this name (but didn�t actually trademark it) for a long time in Canada in order to promote its VoIP phone services.
And while the legal brouhaha is going on iPhone�s future in Canada is not exactly clear � Apple still did not announce its Canadian release date while its and Rogers� (the only carrier technically capable of offering the iPhone in Canada) representatives repeatedly dodge this question. But at least one can already get a pair of cheap iPhones, if only for the moral satisfaction of owning an iPhone. No matter what kind it is.
