Where did you buy this device from? Most of the iPhones are made in China, but for which sale region?

What is the model number?

Have you purchased this device from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, or Pakistan?

Hello Sravan KrA, thank you very much for your help, sorry for the delay in replying, it was very busy, but I  found the answer randomly at the end of the article:

About privacy and Location Services on iOS and iPadOS

2. iOS and iPadOS devices sold in mainland China and Germany can use the term Wireless LAN (WLAN) instead of Wi-Fi.

Have a good nigh!! 👍
