Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Apple iPhone Air cost?
Most search results show the outright purchase price: $1645. But most Canadians don't buy phones outright — they get them with a plan. With a Bell plan at Wireless Nerds, the Apple iPhone Air costs $101.72/mo total (device lease + 100GB plan), which includes both the phone and your wireless service. That's the real cost most people pay.
How much is the Apple iPhone Air per month?
Starting from $101.72/mo with a Bell plan (100GB plan, incl. US roaming). That includes the device lease and your wireless plan — no hidden monthly fees. Lease: $101.72/mo total — return the phone at month 24, or pay $456 to keep it. Finance: $118.54/mo total — the phone is yours at month 24. Prices are for a new line or switching to Bell, with autopay; a one-time $40 Device Handling Charge applies and taxes are extra.
What's the cheapest way to get a Apple iPhone Air?
The cheapest way to get a Apple iPhone Air is with a Bell plan — $101.72/mo total at Wireless Nerds in North York, Toronto (24-month contract). Buying the phone outright costs $1645 upfront PLUS you still need to pay for a wireless plan separately. When you bundle, both costs are combined into one predictable monthly payment.
Is it cheaper to buy the Apple iPhone Air outright or with a plan?
Outright: $1645 upfront, then you still need a plan ($45-65/mo). With a Bell plan at Wireless Nerds: $101.72/mo total ($2441 over 24 months), and that already includes your wireless plan. Most people choose monthly because there's no large upfront cost and the phone service is included. Either way, you're paying for a plan — bundling just lets you spread the phone cost across it.
What does the monthly total include?
Two things: (1) the phone payment for the Apple iPhone Air, and (2) the Bell plan — your data, talk and text (incl. US roaming). On a lease the phone payment is lower because you give the phone back at month 24, or pay the buyout to keep it; on finance it's higher and the phone is yours at month 24. On top of the monthly total there's a one-time $40 Device Handling Charge, and taxes are extra — no other monthly charges. The price is for a new line or switching to Bell, and it requires autopay.
Is this the price if I already have Bell and want to upgrade?
The prices on this page are for a new line or for switching to Bell. Already with Bell? Upgrade prices depend on your account, so we look yours up — call or drop in and we'll quote your exact price.
Is it cheaper to lease or finance the Apple iPhone Air?
It depends on whether you want to keep it. Over 24 months, including the $40 charge (before tax): $2,481 if you give the phone back, $2,937 to lease and keep it, $2,885 to finance and own it. So if you plan to keep the phone, financing is cheaper by $52; leasing only wins if you give it back.
Can I choose a different plan to lower my monthly cost?
Yes. A smaller data plan (like Bell's Lite tier) will lower your monthly cost, while a larger plan (like Ultra or Max) gives you more data at a higher total. The phone payment can change with the plan tier you pick. Check the "Compare Plan Options" table above to see how different plans change the total.
Why do most websites only show the outright price?
When you search for the Apple iPhone Air, most results show $1645 — the outright purchase price. That's because carriers and retailers list the phone price and plan price separately. But that's not how most people buy phones. Wireless Nerds is the only site that combines both into a single monthly total, which is what you actually pay. We do this because it's the honest way to show pricing.
