Be aware that warranty only applies to the country of purchase. Only buy an unlocked phone.

The EU is treated as a single country for warranty purposes. A device purchased in an EU member State will have a valid warranty in any EU member State.

So lets say if I buy an iPhone in Greece and end up having troubles with the speakers after 1 year. Then I could not get it fixed in an apple authorized store in Denmark and would have to go to a store in Greece, to get it fixed using the warranty?
