Unlocked iphone 5 @ Apple.com Canada?

So Apple.com Canada is selling unlocked iphones (unlike here in the US), is it possible to buy an iphone from their website and have the iphone 5 shipped here in the US? Is there any restrictions?

You are correct about the Cdn $ being a bit stronger than the US $ right now, however the price of an iPhone 5 (unlocked) in Canada purchased from Apple is $699 + taxes. Sales tax varies by province, in Ontario you will pay 13% sales tax for a total of $789.87. The unlocked iPhone 5 isn't available yet in the US, however indications are that it will sell there for $649 (+ taxes). Depending on region, you could end up saving $100 or more by buying in the US.

I had the option of purchasing my iPhone 5's from either Canada or the US, but because the unlocked version isn't yet available in the US (and the fact that I'm impatient!) I ended up ordering mine from Apple's Canadian store.

  • Will an unlocked iPhone 5 from AT&T work in Canada on Rogers? If I buy an iPhone in the states from AT&T can it be unlocked and used in Canada on Rogers? Does it matter which country it gets unlocked in?
  • Is there a carrier called canada apple? I had purchased an iphone 4 on ebay. I was told that was factory unlocked. After 3 years I tried to upgrade the OS and it got locked. I thought of talking to the original service provider and when I check on net with imei number it shows carrier as Canada Apple. any idea how to contact these guys? Or which country this carrier belongs to?
  • How to contact Apple Canada from another country? I'm from Romania and I want to buy an iPhone 6s from Canada because it's cheaper there. I have someone to get it for me in Canada but I want to know if the phone(SIM-free and neverlocked) can work in Europe. I need to contact Apple Canada to ask them that, but I don't know how. Can you either tell me if it will work here or how I can reach Apple Support?
  • Can you use apple pay online in Canada? I've gone to multiple sites and apps that are listed as being supported but when I go to the checkout there's no apple pay option. I've tried on both my iPhone 6 and my MacBook and I couldn't find anything. Am I missing something or is apple pay only supported in-store in Canada?
