There is no single iPhone that is guaranteed to work everywhere. It partly depends upon which carriers offer which services. Also note the warranty restrocition.
The iPhone 14 series devices sold in the US do NOT have a physical SIM slot. Check if there's a carrier in your country that offers eSIM service:
Find wireless carriers and worldwide service providers that offer eSIM service - Apple Support
iPhone - Supported 5G and LTE networks - Apple
Find wireless carriers and worldwide service providers that offer eSIM service - Apple Support
Warranty restriction! - Legal - iOS Warranty Document Us - Apple - "IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE, iPAD AND APPLE TV SERVICE. Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device." <-- The warranty does not outright deny warranty coverage in other countries but there are many limitations to the effect Apple almost certainly will refuse to do repairs under warranty or even repairs at all except in the country of purchase. The device would have to be sent to a friend in the country of purchase to handle any repair claims because Apple will not handle international shipping.
