I would like to buy a iPhone 15 pro max and use it with Brazilian SIM cards. Are these phones unlocked to be used abroad?
iPhone XR, iOS 16
No, iPhones are not region locked per se, but make sure that the cellular band used in the US is supported in Brazil. Also, US iPhones don't feature a physical SIM card tray, So you can use these iPhones only with e sim
And also note: An iPhone purchased in the US, will have NO WARRANTY in Brazil, if you need warranty support.
If you live in Brazil, it's ALWAYS best to buy your phone where you live and will use it. Any cost savings you might find buying it in another country will evaporate and then some if you ever need warranty support.
Unlocked new IPhone
