Как узнать страну iPhone?

«Какую еще iPhone страну?» – спросит задумчивый читатель, – «Ведь все айфоны собраны в Китае, о чем гласит надпись “Assembled in China”, расположенная на задней крышке устройства». Действительно все Apple-телефоны сходят с конвейера в Китае, но делаются они для определенных стран. Поэтому сегодня мы выясним, какой стране принадлежит Ваш iPhone.

Для того чтобы узнать страну iPhone нам понадобиться его номер партии (Part No. iPhone), который можно найти в Настройках iPhone – Основные – Об устройстве – Модель. Выглядит он примерно так – MB489 ZA /A.

Буквы, выделенные красным цветом, помогут определить страну iPhone, если эти буквы отсутствуют в настройках, то Part No. можно найти на коробке iPhone и узнать страну при помощи списка ниже:

Далее идет огромный список, если вам лень его пересматривать в поисках своей страны, то используйте поиск текста в Safari (для iPhone), если просматриваете в браузере компьютера, то жмите Ctrl + F, вводите ваши две буквы, после чего Enter-ом смотрите результат, тем кто не знал эта штука пригодится и в дальнейшем, для более быстрого поиска по странице.

Ранее мы думали, что определить страну iPhone можно при помощи анализа IMEI-кода используя специальный сервис, где нужно ввести 15-тизначный IMEI телефона и нажать “Аnalyse”, но результаты показали, что информация зашифрованная в IMEI относительно региона не совпадает с данными номера партии iPhone. Поэтоу сервис «Numberingplans» для определения страны iPhone использовать нельзя, его можно использовать для определения марки и модели телефона.

Примечание: До 14 июня 2011 года, зная страну для которой выпущен iPhone, любой пользователь мог определить залочен телефон или официально разлочен. Теперь ситуация немного изменилась, зная страну, определить принадлежность iPhone к категории Factory Unlocked стало затруднительно, так как Apple пустили в продажу официально разлоченные телефоны, которые ранее считались строго залоченными под конкретного оператора. У некоторых операторов сотовой связи, официально реализующих Apple iPhone, появилась услуга по снятию блокировки на определенных для каждого оператора условиях.

So, in online platforms where iPhones are sold in Saudi Arabia you might come across three listed variants i.e., Middle East (ME), International & HK dual sim variant. You can see that the models are same for both the Middle East & Intl. variants — A2403. From what I know the difference is that if you have the ME variant and you are in a country in GCC like UAE, where FaceTime and iMessage are blocked then the instant you insert the SIM card from that region the FaceTime app disappears. Which means you cannot use it. But if you have the International variant the FaceTime app will not be disappear when the SIM is inserted and the FaceTime call still blocked technically but can still be bypassed via a VPN. (Disclaimer: Please make sure using VPN software is legal in your country prior to using this method).

So, coming to your question, as of mid 2018 Saudi Arabia had lifted the FaceTime ban and it shouldn’t matter which version you get. as for the Apple Care part I would highly recommend you contact apple support team via the Apple Support app.

We understand you want to know if you can purchase an iPhone in Saudi Arabia and purchase AppleCare+ in India for it. Is that right? You’re in the right place, we’d be glad to assist in seeking a solution.

To get expert advice about purchases, please reach out to our sales team here: Apple Store Online

There is NO International Version of iPhone. iPhones are sold by region. If you purchase an iPhone in Saudi Arabia you cannot add AppleCare+ to the phone in India. You can buy AppleCare+ in Saudi Arabia, but it will NOT be valid in India. In addition, your phone purchased in Saudi Arabia will have NO warranty in India.

So. purchase your phone in India where you live and will use the phone.

Nov 10, 2020 7:17 PM

Please clarify that what is different in between iPhone 12 mini international Vs Middle East Version. Is it related to only Warranty & Apple Care+? Or is there any difference in mobile phone features?

Nov 25, 2020 12:52 AM

There are physical differences in the antenna system on the US vs Middle East Version as the most obvious difference. They also support different 5G bands in the US vs Middle East.

You really should purchase your phone in the country you will live and use the phone. It’s the safest best.

iPhone warranty is 1yr global/international and 2yrs in saudi.

So buying iPhone from saudi will still have access to warranty all over the world in the first year, while the second year only in saudi (as per saudi ministry of trade policies).

But the gentleman was asking for the phone versions (ME vs International) rather asking for warranty.

P. S: there is a 3rd version called HK version with 2 real physicals sim cards.

Dec 20, 2020 1:38 AM

Hello, thank you for your clarification. But I need to know one more thing about Middle East vs US versions.

I live in Dubai but I’m usually in Italy for work.

I bought in Italy my last iPhone and it works very good in Dubai. Now if buy the new iPhone in Dubai (middle east version) it works well in Italy? What do you recommend to do? Is there FaceTime in the Middle East version?

Dec 21, 2020 10:54 PM

You are incorrect about iPhone warranty. There is not now, nor has there been an International Warranty on iPhone. A phone purchased in Saudi Arabia, will NOT have warranty all over the world. It simply will NOT.

Dec 22, 2020 4:43 AM

I’m totally correct, my iPhone bought from saudi, went back home to NY, and it worked just fine and warranty active.

Just Google it, it’s not a rocket science.

«Apple One (1) Year Limited Warranty» https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.html

Dec 22, 2020 7:45 AM

And that document says quite specifically, iPhone warranty «May be limited to country of purchase.» It has always said so. If you purchased a phone in Saudi Arabia and the warranty was honored in the US, you were just lucky.

Dec 22, 2020 7:49 AM

How can I determined if a phone is intl version or ME? the iPhone 12 pro was purchased in Qatar (but has not been opened).

Dec 25, 2020 10:13 PM

There is no such thing as an international version of any iPhone.

Dec 25, 2020 10:15 PM

I see a lot of people are confused here. It’s simple, in the Middle East variant FaceTime App becomes hidden (When the regional SIM card is inserted) when used in a country like UAE where it’s blocked. But on international variant Facetime app is always visible and iOS does not hide it. HK variant also doesn’t hide the FaceTime app. Only difference is in HK variant both SIMs are physical rather than one physical and one eSIM. The reason there is a Middle East variant is due to the facetime restrictions imposed in some countries, other than that they are pretty much the same.

I’ve had used an international and middle east variant of iPhones in the past and this is the only difference I could see. The unlocked FaceTime variants are a bit more expensive in the middle east. Usually I see people who travel abroad a lot look for those variants.

P.S: US variant is different from International variant due to the extra millimeter wave antenna for iPhone 12 series.

Dec 26, 2020 12:49 AM

There is NO confusion. Because there is NO International variant. There are Regional Variants as you have aptly described, but NO International variant. And the warranty is as has been suggested. There is no such thing as International Warranty on iPhone.

Dec 26, 2020 7:37 AM

Yes there is international version, which in other words is the one that is not attached to a network!! I got mine in UAE i was offered the one with DU , ETISALAT or UNLOCKED aka INTERNATIONAL. clearly i got the unlocked or international version and it works perfectly in uae , in mexico, in the usa and saudi
