Hello
I need to know where the model " AH/A " is manufactured!? And for which country! ?
Thanks
At the back of its box the details are written in Arabic, English and Irish!
Its charger suggests it must be manufactured for Middle Eastern countries. Availability of Facetime connotes it is not for UAE since it is prohibited there and UAE part number is AE/A.
The fact is that a large number of this part number is distributed in Iran, a country which is under US sanctions and has no direct contact with Apple but holds an indirect share of at least 5% of sold iPhones each year.
do you have facetime ? ah/a
i did not opened the seal of my iphone 7 jet black cos i am not sure if it has facetime or not. i want to return if it doesnt have facetime.
FYI, the KSA has removed the restriction.
Not yet anyway. Will be interesting to see if Apple issues an exclusive KSA model.
This isn't necessarily true. iPhones with AE this is true. But with AB and AH facetime will work anywhere.
Did you try using yours outside the Middle East? If yes, did FaceTime work?
I bought my iPhone X which incloud part number AE/A from United Arab Emirates. And put my Egypt SIM card and FaceTime worked fine.

Apple Watches are made in China.
It would have been made in China.

All iPhones are manufactured in China. The code AH is not one I have seen, however, if it is AB the phone is for Egypt, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and United Arab Emirates.
Source or citation for your claim that at least 5% of each year's sold
iPhones go to Iran, please.
AH/A model
