There is not any international version of any iPhones.
The warranty on an iPhone is only honored in the country of purchase.
Apple will not ship it international.
You will be much better served if you purchase it in Philippines.
Okay. Here's the deal. You should've checked the Tech Specs, and then compared that to the Bands that your provider uses. Where did you buy your SE originally? We'll go from there.
As for the X, you're looking at at least the first quarter of 2018. And get it for your region.
Hi
Apple are Not selling the iPhone X simcard free yet it will be locked to a network provider.
Cheers

In Canada they sold it "unlocked". X's sold in Canada are not locked to a network provider even if you get it from a provider. This is illegal to do. So I just discredited you. Gotta stop saying this. And I live in Canada. I'd know.
If the OP is wondering, there are even more stringent requirements for providers in Canada to sell you an X, if one can be found. Two of which are you must be an existing customer or a new sign up.
So you're safer off to wait until the X is available in your area.
I get what you are saying. But if you go to the apple website there is a list for models that you should choose from in order to get the model that is calibrated for your country. Again, I already purchased an Iphone SE last march and made the mistake of not inquiring about it. The officer told me himself that it is not the version i should gave bought.
No they are not. If you have a US phone in the Philippines and it fails in the first year they will not be able to replace it as they don't carry that model. You would have to either return to the US with it or send it to a friend or relative and have them take it in.
As far as your issue with not being able to pick up LTE outside of urban areas that has nothing to do with the market the phone was intended for. If you had incorrect LTE bands for your carrier you would not get LTE at all.
deggie is right. This is a very huge misconception. One that I waste no time discrediting. Whoever told you that was blatantly lying. The warranty is valid only in the country where it was purchased. So if it was purchased in the USA, the warranty is valid in the USA. Most users on this forum do not get this, and think the warranty is international based on something they read. If the warranty is later changed to "international", that order will come from Cupertino, California. Not from regional offices as they do not have the authority to make such a decision. This sentence puts an end to the "International Warranty" garbage.
It might be the "International" version, but it's not guaranteed to work on all providers.
Makes me wonder why other people don't get this.
Actually Iphones bought in the USA are covered globally for one year
USA. And brought it here in PI. I automatically assumed that it would work here with no problem since it is open for all networks.
Apple are happily selling unlocked iPhones including the X in the UK. They always have. Mine arrived yesterday.
