Buying iPhone in China and use in US

I would like to use dual physical sim iPhone available only from China / HK / Macao, but not getting conclusive answers from China Apple's support. Has anyone ever bough a XR or 11 in China, and use it in USA? Any particular issues? I am using either China Mobile / China Telecom + AT&T.

IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE, iPAD, APPLE TV AND HOMEPOD SERVICE.

Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and HomePod to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.


All iPhone models are world phones, so you can use them almost anywhere. Whether you are a GSM or CDMA network customer, you can roam internationally on GSM networks in over 200 countries or regions around the world. Availabilitys of LTE data varies in some countries or regions and depends on carrier support for certain LTE radio frequencies. Contact your wireless carrier for more information regarding international roaming policies and rates.
