Apple iPhone 4 pre-orders begin

Apple iPhone 4

The Apple iPhone 4 is now available for pre-order in the US, France, Germany, the UK, and Japan. Only the black version is currently available with the white one showing as unavailable with no availability ETA. Deliveries are scheduled to start on June 24th.

The 16GB model of the iPhone 4 sells for US$199 and the 32GB one for US$299 with a two-year AT&T contract in the US. The 8GB iPhone 3GS is also available for pre-order for US$99 (again with a two-year contract).

Meanwhile, in Canada, you can now pre-order the 8GB iPhone 3GS for CA$549 (no contract required) for a June 24th shipping date. The iPhone 4 is not expected to launch here until sometime in July and is not yet available for pre-order.

Note: The Apple store appears to be quite unstable this morning and is often unavailable with the traditional ‘We’ll back soon’ showing its face frequently. Is there that much demand for the iPhone 4?
