Regarding the 5g bands
If I buy iPhone 13 pro max from India (the one without the band on the side), will it work fine if I use it in the US?

Hey there discusswidme,
For any carrier-locked iPhone, it's 100% up to the carrier whether to unlock it, or not. If you do purchase a carrier-locked iPhone, this link shows the steps to take for unlocking it to use with a different carrier: How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier
For help with answering the question of whether it'll work for a specific carrier in a specific region, you'll need to reach out to the carrier you want to use to answer this.
Regarding your other question about purchasing an unlocked iPhone in your region, you'll need to reach out to your region's Apple online shop experts for help answering questions about this. You can reach them using the 'Ask an iPhone Specialist' at the top right of this link: Buy iPhone
Cheers!
