Will an iPhone bought from US work in Gulf countries?

Hello Folks,

I am planning to buy iPhone 15 pro from the US. I wanted to confirm that it will work in Saudi Arabia or not? Like no sim restriction and other warranty services?


Thanks

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

You'd have to ask your carrier in Saudi Arabia if they support eSim only iPhones. If they don't, then it won't work for you there. And you also need to know a phone purchased in the US will have NO warranty in Saudi Arabia. If you think buying your phone in the US saves you money, you need to factor in the cost of bringing the phone back to the US for warranty support or service if you need it.


It's never a great idea to buy your phone in another country. But it Saudi Arabia.
