Maple syrup certainly but the swill Tim Hortons sells is not coffee. Things went downhill quickly after a Brazilian based equity firm become the main shareholder.

Apple Offering $75 Apple Store Gift Card in Canada With Purchase of iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Mini

why not? Another new iPhone will be coming 12 months after that. There's always a "next model" on the horizon.
But is that really a loss?
120hz - won't even notice
A15 - most won't see a difference
battery life - my 12 Mini already lasts all day with 60-70% life remaining at the end of day
larger wings (smaller notch) - irrelevant to me
Overall, it sounds like the 13 might be one of the least compelling updates in a long time. I think it's a prefect time to buy an iPhone if you need a new phone.
Carriers in Canada are currently offering some really good deals on the iPhone 12 at the moment (but not the 12 Pro) which put this gift card deal to shame. If you are in Canada and are looking to upgrade to a 12 now I’d suggest checking with your carrier first. Clearly there’s lots of stock in Canada at the moment that they are trying to clear before the new model comes out in the fall.
There is always something new coming soon. The offer is a nice one and I see no real reason why a person who needs a new phone should wait for some unknown magic went to occur before said person has an out of body epiphany with phone ordering.
ProMotion isn't coming to the mini. And even if it were, the phone is too small to really take note. Only on MR are people pining over a feature that for all intent and purposes, is a marketing perk to sell more phones. It's like someone demanding 4K resolution on a 6" phone.
They call it…bacon. Just bacon.And the bowl of poutine. Can't forget the poutine.
...don't get me started on bacon. Why the Americans call back bacon "Canadian bacon" - just annoying. If anything they should have called it Australian bacon. The Aussie's - that's their regular bacon. Up here, our bacon is the same as the Americans. What the Aussies's call "streaky bacon".
Can you point to a carrier? The big players Bell and Rogers make it seem like it’s a deal with $10/mth offers on the 12, but you’re required to have a data plan at a minimum of $80/mth for 24 months.
Imagine an entire industry that does not compete with each other, prices and profits so sky-high they can continue to pay off the feds to keep competition out of Canada. And to add insult to industry, the protectionist nutjob that came up with this scam is the father of the current prime minister...
Normally I would agree with you - however, I think it also has to do with the fact that the USD/CAD exchange has dropped - CAD pricing are well above the exchange rate, even with the usual buffer Apple bakes in for countries.
Umm. When have you ever seen Apple drop their Canadian prices because of the exchange rates after launch?
There have been MANY times that there's been a 20% delta in exchange over price at release and Apple did nothing.
I just wish Apple would put the online store at US$ and let the exchange rate float....but they make more money this way.
