iPhone use in another country

I am planning on living in Brasil S/A for a while and need a new phone. Is there anything specific I need included with the phone? Any help is appreciated!

The only model Apple is currently selling is the iPhone 14 series. iphone 14 that is sold in the USA does not have a slot for a SIM, it uses eSIMs only. So make sure there are carriers in the location you plan to be that support eSIMs.


Also, the warranty will only be valid in the country of purchase so if your phone breaks, you will have to return to the States for repair.

Apple also sells the iPhone 13, iPhone SE (2022) and iPhone 12.

Agree that this is a very important consideration!
