The US iPhone 14 models only use eSIMs.


Buying an iPhone in one country to use in another country can have many disadvantages:


Make sure it will work in your country.--> 5G and LTE. Find the iPhone that’s right for your country or region. - iPhone - Supported 5G and LTE networks - Apple


Warranty restriction! - Legal - iOS Warranty Document Us - Apple - "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." <-- The warranty does not outright deny warranty coverage in other countries but there are many limitations to the effect Apple almost certainly will refuse to do repairs under warranty or even repairs at all except in the country of purchase. The device would have to be sent to a friend in the country of purchase to handle any repair claims because Apple will not handle international shipping.
