The Canadian Dollar reached parity with the U.S. Greenback yesterday. In on honour of this auspicious day, I thought I’d see how translates for far for tech consumers out there. Comparing prices at Apple.ca and Apple.com. Remember 1CAD = 1USD.
| CAD | USD | Premium | |
| iPod Touch | 329 | 299 | 10.0% |
| iPod Nano | 169 | 149 | 13.4% |
| MacBook | 1249 | 1099 | 13.6% |
| MacBookPro | 2199 | 1999 | 10.0% |
| iMac | 1399 | 1199 | 7% |
| iPhone | *sigh* | 399 | Infinity |
UPDATE: Given the recent strength in the Loonie has as much to do with a free-falling Dollar, you might imagine that Apple will be as apt to raise their US prices on future products rather than drop prices in Canada. So head south and bargain-shop while you can?
As Lars suggest, keep an eye on the greasy Big Mac to get a sense of how/if cross-border prices will converge.
