iPhones are sold in the country where are they are supposed to be used, and because of that, the hardware is designed specially for the mobile service providers in these countries. LTE, for example, might not work correctly another country due to other bandwidth or frequencies.

Also, Apple may restrict warranty the service for iPhone to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
