Are there issues buying an IPhone in Duty free

if i buy an iphone 15 in Dubai Duty Free, will it have any restrictions for use in the UK, incl service support. i have a UK SIM. im assuming a phone sold in duty free should still have facetime which seems to be the most common topic raised

IPad International Version Vs Middle East Virsion Dear all, I am planning to buy IPAD. Air 2022 (5th Generation) 10.9-inch 256GB Wi-Fi I live in dubai and i am getting a fair deal in noon but it is international version. No i check the difference online and I only find that the only difference is facetime. As you can see. I am buying IPad without the sim so its really not that matter for me. I don't need SIM anyway. do you still think i should buy Middle east version or it doesn't matter for me as IPAD is without sim the prices i am getting are: IPAD. Air 2022 (5th Generation) 10.9-inch 256GB Wi-Fi (internaltional Version) @AED 2499.00 IPAD. Air 2022 (5th Generation) 10.9-inch 256GB Wi-Fi (ME Version) @ AED 2620.00 so you can see, the price difference is like 120AED only but still i was thinking if without sim. its same. What is your opinion

iPhone purchased in other country Will an iPhone 14 pro max with model number 3AA/A Dubai purchase, worked in other country? Like, the Philippines? I haven’t open the phone yet, also the box is still sealed. Will facetime work outside Dubai? And will the warranty works or be eligible even if I move back to the Philippines from Dubai? Thank you.

FaceTime isn't available or may not appear on devices purchased in the United Arab Emirates. Group FaceTime and FaceTime Audio are not available in China mainland on iPhone and iPad with mobile data.

Any idea if the products sold airside of the airport carry the same restrictions as one brought in the local stores?
