I have no idea something that she said she like the iPhone design of American but software isn’t what she like. Therefore, she want to use the Korean software I guess I am confused myself at all

Is this perhaps a question of her not knowing how to change the language and the region on the phone?


Change the language and region on iPhone - Apple Support

There is at least one difference in the software between iPhones intended for sale in the U.S. and iPhones intended for sale in Korea. The Korean version doesn't let you turn off the shutters release sound for the camera; the U.S. version does let you do that. There may well be other differences.


Another important factor is that the warranty on an iPhone is restricted to the country in which is was purchased. So, if you purchase a phone in the U.S. and give it to someone in Korea, they would have to bring it to the U.S. if it ever needed warranty work


If you purchased the phone directly from Apple, you can return it within 14 days. However, you can't but the Korean version of the iPhone on the Apple Online Store in the U.S. nor are such phones available in U.S. Apple Stores. Also, you can't use a U.S. credit card to purchase something from the Apple Online Store for Korea. Gift cards are also limited to the region in which they were purchased.
