Facetime - Iphone purchased from UAE

If I purchase an iphone from an apple store in UAE, will the facetime always work outside UAE?

If it's running 13.6 or newer and the country in Settings is one other than the United Arab Emirates, yes. Units originating from it on an older version will only have FaceTime with a Middle Eastern SIM card installed, not including ones from it or Israel.


Note that you'll likely be denied warranty service on it outside there.
