RE: InstaPot with iOS App Access
I just had another look on Amazon Canada and for now it seems the Instant Pot Smart WiFi is back from third-party sellers and actually for not too bad of a price. It is listed for $199.99 regular and currently on sale for $149.99, but no free prime delivery and a $16 shipping fee in addition to the price. Last time I looked maybe 6 or 8 weeks ago I also saw it from third party sellers, but it was over $300 Canadian. Given the current exchange rate from Canadian to US Dollars the regular US price of $149.99 is pretty much exactly $200 give or take $5, so it is the same as the regular price in the US. If you can get it for $89.99 US on sale that would be about $120 Canadian so still $30 or 20% cheaper than the sale price here and if you factor in the $16 shipping it's a $46 difference. Still that isn't so bad, I put it in my cart, but I think I'll wait a week and see if there is a better Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal and if there is I may break down and buy one. I could then sell our stand-alone rice cooker and slow cooker, both are pretty good quality and I may get $60 or $70 for both of them so if I could get the Instant Pot for $129.99 or even $139.99 Canadian I might do that.

RE: InstaPot with iOS App Access
There is only one connected Instant Pot out there and that is the smart WiFi. I recently saw somebody sold a brand-new Bluetooth model which was discontinued I think almost 2 years ago, but I didn't buy it. The Smart WiFi is not sold in Canada even though Instant Pot is a Canadian company, I have never been able to get an answer out of them, but at this point I don't think I'd buy one even if they offered it unless maybe it was on a super good deal. The regular price in the US is I think $149.99, they often go on sale for 20% off and have been as much as 40% off which is $89.99 US and I wouldn't be surprised if they are o sale again for that price around Black Friday. But I'm so disappointed in the company that I don't think I'll give them my money and in addition to that I really enjoy cooking on the new GE connected range we bought, yes, it's maybe not as automated, but I know how to boil an egg so it's soft without an Instant Pot, we have a rice cooker and I wouldn't probably ever use the functions for making yoghurt and stuff so maybe if I had bought one it would be one of these gadgets which we'd use a bit in the beginning and then it would mostly just sit around or be a glorified rice cooker.

Re: InstaPot with iOS
This isn’t the Bluetooth model, but it does say it has an Alexa skill. I’m not sure how that would work, but it might work nicely. This also is a 3 quart size, which is pretty small I think. I have a 6 quart. Be interesting to know if someone has use the Alexa skill successfully with it.
