How to purchase an iPhone 15 with SIM slot

How can I get iPhone 15 pro max with sim slot ?

You do realize that the phone will have no warranty in the U.S., correct?

How have you done what’s the process and do you really have to pay with a billing address in Canada. And how much is the iPhone 15Pro max with a SIM card slot in Canada.

You cannot buy one in the US with a physical sim slot.

The case you refer to was an exception to the rule, probably out of ignorance. The reality is that AppleCare + coverage is NOT international.

Please see the reply by Niel on page one of this thread.

I'm sorry I don't know what that means. In order to buy an iPhone 15 with a physical SIM slot, you need to buy the phone in any country other than the U.S. Generally, in order to buy an iPhone intended for sale in a particular country, you must be in that country.

I am getting mine from an out of the country seller that ships to the US. It will cost more but at least it will help when traveling. I can't afford to not have that option.

If you buy a phone from an out-of-country seller, how will this affect the warranty? Also, how will it affect the cellular radio frequency coverage? iPhones sold in different parts of the world can have different radio band coverage, presumably reflecting the carrier networks and government frequency band regulations that Apple believes will apply to them in their home markets.

The phone can always be tracked because you cannot take the SIM out of the phone

Turn the phone off. Or put it in a Faraday bag.

Even if you could take the SIM out of the phone, you wouldn't be able to take the IMEI – the phone's unique ID – out of the phone.

If the FBI is interested in you, and they have a search warrant that compels carriers to cooperate, do you believe they're going to track you ONLY by the SIM card? Or are they going to be looking for any match EITHER with the SIM (regardless of which phone it is in) OR with the IMEI (regardless of which SIM is in the phone)?

They can't track you by a phone that's turned off or otherwise not connected to any network.

I dont get it, even with esim only iphone, you can find shops or sites on the internet that will sell data only plans and or data and talk text options like onesimcard (yes they work) pricey but they work. i do believe and or think that carriers outside the US should sell at least data only esims. Wont lie 150 gigs from vodafone for £30 is a steal or great deal. Besides travelers arent going to stay in a country for long where they need talk and text.

They can ask Apple to track you by FaceID or TouchID regardless which iPhone you use...also they can ask google for your Gmail audit trail if you are not using iOS. Also from your voice from Google or Amazon/Alexa if you are using it...I think Samsung uses eye retina scan as well. There are enough trails from different vendors to track you...

The store that shipped the iPhone was not an authorized Apple dealer (even though they might have claimed to be)....or......if they really were, they were breaking the rules and risking losing their authorized dealer status.

So, you will need to find a phone being offered by an unauthorized reseller or find a dealer willing to try to break the rules while risking loss of their authorized dealer status.

But, even if you can find a phone to be shipped to you from another country, your phone will have no warranty.

this is wrong. worked on the genius bar in the UK. Had no issues dealing with applecare+ iphones from the US. It was actually advantageous as they didn't end up having to pay the excess fee. Every time I replaced/repaired a US iPhone, when completing the transaction, the cost always came to £0. We just assumed it was because AppleCare was bought from the US and the system didn't do conversions to other currencies

Buy it in any country except the U.S.

If you do, I believe that it won't have a warranty that's good in the U.S.

If you're a U.S. citizen/resident who bought the phone elsewhere (to get the physical SIM slot), and something goes wrong with the phone during the warranty period, you might have to take the phone back to the country or region where it was sold, to get service.

That's correct. Thanks for adding that information.
