Canada: $1379. (On the $999-in-the-US iPhone XS.)

They do not always use the round numbers.

Seeing as most Canadians live near the US border maybe they go closer to American prices there as there's a lower barrier for Canadians to cut the fat margins by crossing the border and buying in the US?

Considering that 1000 USD is 1340 CAD, you're only saving around 40 CAD for your troubles. That doesn't seem worth it if you value your time.

yes, that was my point. If it was a larger margin like in other countries more Canadians would.
