Unlocked iPhone 7 & 7 Plus - best place to buy

Hi -

We have the iPhone 5 and looking to purchase the iPhone 7 & 7 plus (unlocked).

We like the plan and the provider we're with now, but we're not able to get a better deal, so we're thinking of purchasing the phones outright from Apple.

Is Apple the best place to buy unlocked phones (GTA)?

Thanks!

Yes, the apple store is best to avoid getting scammed on a blacklisted phone.

Yeah, if you can wait there will definitely be a price drop on the 7 in a few months.

Thanks, I was hoping if I buy two phones, I might get some kind of deal or bonus.

Ugh, I'd like to wait but my phone is driving me bonkers! I heard the price only drops by $100.00, and someone else told me it drops by several hundred dollars?

Thanks. Please see my reply above. I also had someone warn me if I wait, I might not get the 7/7 Plus in the color and storage size I want.

$100 sounds about right. Apple will not drop it several hundred

You wait to see what the new one offers, not buy the old one

No, you won't get a deal for buying more than one.
No, it's not going to drop by several hundred. About $100 sounds right, I think.
They usually keep manufacturing the previous year's model for another year, if memory serves (look at the current availability for the 6s/6s plus, as an example) - I think you should be ok on that front.

Alternatively, you can buy it from the US and save around $100 if you go to a tax free state, after exchange

Except for the cost of travelling to said tax free state from the GTA, of course.

Thanks. I like shopping in the USA, but not with the current exchange rate
