iPhone quality - UK vs Germany

Hello!

I want to buy the new iPhone 11.

I’m living in Germany, but have a chance to buy it from UK. Because I’m going there often.

So, is there any quality difference between UK and Germany ?


And which one is better ?

Reportedly though the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are all still made in Foxconn’s facilities in mainland China (reported on CNET back when the trade tariffs were all the news).


And the phones Apple makes in India (also by Foxconn plants, at least for the iPhone XR) are sold in India. They are made there to avoid the 20% or so import tariff India charges for devices imported from China and Asia. Those are not being made for export from India.

Pegatron and Wistron are also iPhone contract assemblers. There are quite a few iPhones out that have been assembled in India.
