If I buy for example, two Apple Airpods: one from USA and another one from UAE, will there be any differences or it's just same thing? I heard that iPhones that bought from Apple Store UAE miss FaceTime. What about other products like iPad, Airpods, iPhone and Mac accessories?
Hey there Ahmadov550,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you have some questions about the difference between devices purchased in the US and UAE. I’ll be happy to help.
The FaceTime app may be affected on devices purchased in Saudi Arabia, not necessarily the UAE, you can read more about this here:

There can be other differences. One thing to pay attention to is the cellular version of Apple Watch. ‘To cover the LTE and UMTS bands used around the world, there are two separate models for Apple Watch Series 5, and three for Apple Watch Series 3. They have been optimized for use in the country of purchase, and not all models work in all countries or regions. There is no single model that supports roaming worldwide. To see which carriers in your country or region offer cellular service for Apple Watch, refer to this link:’
You’ll also want to be aware that if you purchase a device from a different region, the power supply may be different. In this case, it may be a good idea to get the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit:

Also, with items like Mac computers, the keyboard may have a different language on the physical keyboard.
