Apple has increased the price of unlocked iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units in Canada by approximately 12 to 14 percent, likely owing to persistent differences in currency exchange rates between the two countries. The price of the basic 16GB iPhone 6 has increased by $90 CAD, from $749 CAD to $839 CAD, while at the other end of the spectrum, the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus gets a price increase of $150 CAD, going from $1,079 CAD up to $1,229 CAD.
With the gap between the U.S. and Canadian dollar having increased dramatically over the past four months, the previous pricing was significantly below the exchange rate, however these new prices now make Canadian unlocked iPhone models slightly more expensive than their U.S.
counterparts, even after exchange rates have been factored in. This move follows a similar 20 percent price increase that hit the Canadian App Store this past January.
