Using iPhone 13 Pro in Angola, Africa

Hey there, master276!

From your post, it sounds like you are looking for information about purchasing and using an iPhone in Africa. We’re glad that you reached out to the Apple Support Communities. We want to try and help get you some helpful information.

First, what type of iPhone were you planning on purchasing? From where were you planning on buying the iPhone? If the iPhone you purchase is locked to a specific carrier, you may need to unlock the device to use with your carrier. Here's more information on that process: How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier. Here's more information About cellular data roaming options for your iPhone and iPad.

Also, you may want to verify the Availability of Apple Media Services in your area. Check out this page for more details: iOS and iPadOS - Feature Availability.

We hope this information helps you out.

Cheers!

master276,

Thanks for providing this information. Yes, it does sound like it is offering an iPhone that is not linked to a carrier.

The Apple Support Communities does not have the facilities to assist with purchasing products or other sales-related situations. You'll want to reach out to the Apple Online Store team for further assistance. If necessary, select your country or region from the dropdown menu at the top of the page and click continue to have it reflect relevant information for your location.

Kind regards!

Hello dear,

I 'd like to buy an iPhone 13 Pro from apple.com. In the page I found an option that said "connect on your own later". What does it mean? Is it an unlocked iPhone that I can use with any carrier?

Regards

That is the US store. You can not purchase from the US store at all unless you have a US issued payment method and US shipping/billing address.
