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.

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.
