If I buy an refurbished iPhone mini 12 at Apple in US, will I be able to use it with Italian SIM card when I will move there in six months?

Use my phone bought in the US in Italy. I'm Italian and passing a year in the US, if I buy the iPhone 15 pro here, which has no physical sim, will I be able when I get home to change sim and use the phone in Italy? I'd have a Verizon contract here and an Italian contract back home.

iPhone purchased in the USA, used in the EU Hello, I have a question. I have the opportunity to buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max from the USA. Will it work normally in the Czech Republic? I’m aware that it doesn’t have a SIM card slot and has a shorter warranty, but I’m more concerned about the other aspects. Thanks.

If I purchase an iPhone 15 in USA, will it work in Australia when I return home? If I purchase a new iPhone 15 / 15 Pro while in the United States, will it work in Australia? When I return to Australia and move my SIM card to the new phone, will it work? Are there other steps I need to consider?

Yes, if it's not carrier-locked. Note that you'll likely be denied warranty or AppleCare+ service on it outside the USA.
