In 2025, a growing number of Americans are skipping their local Apple Store and instead choosing to buy iPhones from Canada. This trend isn’t just about preference—it’s a strategic decision fueled by favorable exchange rates, hardware differences, and access to physical SIM cards.
Whether it’s the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16, or the next big release, savvy U.S. shoppers are learning how to get the best deal and the best version of the device. And with www.shipbymail.com, a leading Canadian parcel forwarder, it’s never been easier to ship from Canada to the USA.
1. Currency Advantage: The Power of the Strong U.S. Dollar
With $1 USD ≈ $1.40 CAD in 2025, Americans can stretch their dollars further in Canada.
- iPhone 15 Pro (Canada): C$1,449 = ~$1,035 USD
- iPhone 15 Pro (USA): $999 USD before tax
After taxes and exchange rates, Canadian iPhones may come out cheaper.
Key Takeaways:
- Favorable exchange rates = potential savings
- ShipByMail simplifies Canadian purchases
- Escape high U.S. sales taxes
2. Hardware Differences: Canada Offers the SIM Card Slot
U.S. iPhones are eSIM-only. In Canada, you get both eSIM and physical SIM support.
- Perfect for travelers using local SIMs
- Dual SIM capability
- Available only on international models like those in Canada
ShipByMail helps you buy these models and get them delivered safely.
3. U.S. iPhone Supply Shortages
Missed out on the iPhone 15 Pro Max in the U.S.? Canada often has more stock and faster shipping timelines.
Use ShipByMail’s package forwarding from Canada to beat the waitlist.
4. Possible U.S. Price Hikes from Tariffs
Future tariffs on electronics could spike U.S. iPhone prices. Buying from Canada now avoids those hikes.
ShipByMail lets you lock in better pricing while you still can.
