iPhones in different countries

If I buy an iPhone while on holiday in New Zealand will it work OK in the UK with a UK network provider etc?


Apologies if this a stupid question, I've just had the night mare of having my phone stolen while 2weeks into a 3month trip. Ideally I don't want to have to wait until I get home to replace my handset (11 Pro Max) but I don't want to buy a product if it's going to be different or not work.


I've been searching through the site but I can't find the answer I'm looking for - can anyone help? As you can tell from the question, I'm not super-techie so please feel free to use small words and speak slowly...
