Howdy kenros,



If you're looking to purchase an iPhone SE in the US for use in the UK, see the chart linked below for the models available, and which carriers support which models to ensure that the iPhone you purchase will be compatible with the carrier of your choice once back in the UK.

Ultrafast LTE.
Available in more places than ever before.

Of perhaps equal or secondary interest when buying an iPhone in one region, then taking the item

to another, may be the availability of any local warranty coverage. There had been noted advantage

with certain products and local coverage being longer for items purchased in UK for use there. This

would be important; as most iPhone warranty had required product return to country of retail purchase.


However, your use and travel patterns may/not add or detract from the opportunities of ownership or

in service coverage, if any local implementation may not affect these details -- I thought to mention.


In any event...

Good luck! 🙂
