Buying one through Apple online at the moment, but it’s roughly $1300 with taxes. So I have myself a little nervous at the cost. Thanks in advance for answering. 👍
Yes, as long as you don’t buy it from a carrier, or buy a carrier specific version from some 3rd party seller it will work. Typically if you buy from a 3rd party seller and ask for “an iphone” you’ll get the unlocked version, but some stores only carry carrier locked versions so they should ask what carrier you have first. If they do make sure you ask for the unlocked version.
If you’re in the US you’ll need to deal with eSIM setup, if you’re in the rest of the world just pop your sim card in and it will work.
Depending on the US carrier you could have a physical sim too! And e sim is possible on some EU carriers. But generally speaking that’s right
Are there any iPhone 16’s in the US that have a physical SIM? I thought the 14 dropped sim, and I know for my 15 I had to import one from Canada to get the SIM.
Yeah just make sure you purchase the unlocked version of the phone and you sb good to go then. They’re usually like $20 more expensive than the carrier locked phones.
Apple charges the exact same price for a carrier locked one as a carrier unlocked one.
