I live in the US and want to buy a 6s for a friend in Thailand which I will visit later in December. I think the 6s may be available in Thailand by the end of year, but I presume it'll cost slightly more than the US price.

I'm considering buying an unlocked phone here, maybe on sale on Black Friday, then take it to Thailand later.

Based on this page, it seems the model number I should purchase is A1688:

First of all, is this model available in the US?

If so, are there any disadvantages to consider? e.g. packaging, support, warranty, etc, would be better if the device was purchased locally in Thailand?
