Hi guys, i'm currently living in Turkey, next week I'm going to NewYork and planning to buy a iPhone 6s from there. But i heard from somewhere that, there is some hardware differences (like antenna) between Europe and USA devices, which can occur low signal, cellular data etc. problems. Is it true ? Really the hardwares are different ? Because if it is true, next month i'm also going to Frankfurt for business, and buy it from there. By the way i know there is also Apple Store here in Turkey, but the prices are so high because of the money rate.

Thank you

Regards

Hello,
This year Iphones are the same models worldwide. As longest you get iPhone 6s is unlocked version, you will be able to use it anywhere in the world. I would get AT&T version a1633 model that it has all 23 LTE bands to cover CDMA and GSM radios. In case you end up in China or Japan where there is no GSM providers you are good to go. So buy it here in states just ask go to Apple Store and ask them for AT&T version.

Euro model is the the A1687/8, which is sold by T-mobile, Verizon, and Sprint. Att has the A1633/4, which has one extra band. Both will perform identically in Europe.
