Will an Iphone 13 bought in America work in South Africa

Hi


I am looking into buying an unlocked Iphone 13 from the USA and using it in America. According to the Apple website, 'the 4G/LTE frequencies will not be the same, so you may be unable to receive a 4G service in South Africa on a US purchased iPhone'. However, this was posted in 2013.

Will I not be able to receive LTE service in South Africa?

What does this mean for my data and internet connection?

You should, but you might want to contact the carrier you'll be using in South Africa to confirm: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support.
