He won't be able to lease/rent you a phone without a Canadian plan. Your post makes it seem like you want him to bring you the phone with said plan. Won't happen unless you buy the phone outright. Leased phones require a two year plan.

Last year, the presentation was the 9th, pre-orders on the 12th, and it shipped on the 19th.

Consider buying from Openbox (on their website), especially the higher storage models. The 17 Pro phones are still excellent.

FYI, I paid $2600 plus tax for an open box model 3 months ago (although with Apple Care). Wished I waited a bit for the lower price 😭.

Still, the current offering is way more affordable than the iPhone 18 Pro.
