Replacing US IPhone in Colombia

My husband just went snorkeling with his iPhone in Cartagena. We have T-Mobile service. Is it possible to buy a new iPhone here that will transition smoothly when we go back to the USA in a few weeks? Any advice much appreciated.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Buying new iPhone in Dubai … for necessity (screen seriously damaged). I’ve had a problema with my iPhone. I need to buy another one but I’m in Dubai at the moment. I’ll be back in Italy in a week. What are the limitations (warranty, services, using internet and so on) in using the new iPhone 17 pro (my intention) in Italy? Thank you in advance.

Buy iPhone in USA and bring it back to Italy Hi All, I am currently in the USA for work and will be here for about 1 more month before going back to Italy where I live, unfortunately my iPhone broke and repair is impossible so my only options are going without a phone for more than a month (actually not real option as I use it for work too) or buying an iPhone here. I have searched online and see many posts like this but nothing exactly the same. I checked the 5G and LTE bands and they are different but the USA model have more than the Italy/EU model (I am looking at iPhone 15 specs) so that should not be an issue. I know USA models now come with eSIM only but my Italian operator can provide me with a eSIM and I am currently using a temporary eSIM from a USA operator while I'm here. I also saw a lot of people talking about not being able to use warranty outside the country you bought it and that's fine I guess but what about AppleCare+? Will it work in Italy if I bought AppleCare+ here? I will I have to wait to get back to Italy and bought AppleCare+ there? Anything else you should lookout in this situation? Any OS/App restriction? Any issue with the Apple ID that only had Italian devices so far? I really can't go a month without phone but neither I can ship it one from Italy, I guess my only option is buying it here but I don't want to have issue when coming back home. Thanks a lot. Gianluca
