A little technical observation:

The warranty and AppleCare/AppleCare+ on the iPhone are not international.
If you go to the warranty pages and follow the links down for iPhone warranty you get to:
https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.html - WARRANTY SERVICE OPTIONS - "Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. "
Yes, it does later say:
http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.html - "IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE, iPAD AND APPLE TV SERVICE. Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device."
Note it only says "may restrict", it does not state outright the warranty is not international, though I suspect that given the opportunity to say "no" when presented for service they may well do so.
