I woudn't buy an iPhone in the Canaries . 

I don't know but I suspect there is little difference between the UK price and the Canaries price (if someone could check the Apple website from the Canaries, it would be appreciated).

The problems you might have if you needed to return it don't bear thinking about. And, depending on where you buy it, I wouldn't know how to spot a forgery.

I did find an iPhone SE 16GB at Dixons at Manchester airport for £40 less than the Apple price, but found, when I got home, that 16GB isn't enough for me.  I returned it (unopened) to my local Dixons/Currys/PC World/Carphone Whorehouse branch for a full refund

There was no difference in the price of the 64GB model.  I didn't price check other models.

A friend of mine bought a new unlocked iPhone from GiffGaff which was cheaper, by some way, than Apple, but I don't know which model it was

Basically, decide which model you want, check the prices before you go, see what you can buy it for in the Canaries and ask yourself if you are prepared to cary the risk of faulty/forged products.

And don't forget that if you buy it duty free (UK airport or in the Canaries), you may have to pay duty on it if you get stopped by Customs on your return to the UK

I know a lot of places on the island claim to sell discount electronics. Every time I compare the prices they're more expensive. Or they're selling old stock.

I wouldn't bother. I had one but finally sold it. Being tied to Apple and Itunes is a pain in the bot bot.
I changed to an Android OS phone. Best thing I ever did.
