I would not say that in general - it can be a factor of currency movements after the retail price is set. I bought an IP7 and new MBPro15 in Japan and paid less than US retail, certainly much less with no US sales tax, and I bought an iPad in Canada that ended up about $80 less than US retail, but a few months later it was cheaper to buy a IPSE in the US and give it as a gift in Canada vs buying it in Canada.
The arbitrage game has been going on for a long time with Apple products.
