What are the drawbacks of no Wi-Fi?


Does WLAN not support internet connection over router?


Can you not disable the lack of Facetime audio by changing your region?


Thank you.

If you buy your iPhone inside China there are a few difference that cannot be changed.


- No Taiwanese Flag emojis are selectable or viewable on the Chinese version.

- Taiwan will be displayed as a "Taiwan Province" rather than just Taiwan in the Photo app (Memories section).

- No Wi-Fi, only WLAN

- No Facetime audio calls can be made or received, Facetime Video however can be used.


I regret my purchase.

Functionally, there are no diffeences between wathces sold in different countries. There may be some differences in features supported by the paired iPhone, depending on local regulations and what services the local carriers support (or don't). There may also be warranty differences. But the watch hardware and software are the same

Differences are likely to be in the cellular bands & networks that can be supported. One is likely to be better suited to your region than another.


See http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html and http://www.worldtimezone.com/4g.html. Presumably iPhones destined for USA and parts of South America are built to use a different set of bands from those sold elsewhere.
