You should absolutely not purchase an iPhone anyplace outside the country where it will be used. A few reasons:

  • iPhones sold in the U.S. are eSIM only. They cannot use a SIM card.
  • iPhones may have different models around the world to accommodate different cellular frequencies used in different countries.
  • iPhones can generally not be serviced or warranted outside the country of purchase. (The EU is treated as a one country.)
