Not sure if the site was updated, but there are multiple comments here about sales tax missing for the US price. The site clearly states it added that tax for Canada and the US, and shows two prices for each country reflecting the lowest and highest tax applicable based on where you buy the phone.

A lack of state sales tax is part of the reason that the Apple Store in Portland, Oregon sells so many iPhones (in quantity) to tourists (particularly from Asia). Well, that and the fact that Portland is on the West Coast and has an international airport. They sell a lot of laptops and desktop computers to the same clientele but iPhones are the major draw.

Yes (it could have been more explicit on the list) - but the prices are there. They did a good job with this
