I will be traveling abroad within the next two weeks and about to buy a factory unlocked iphone 4S here in the USA.

Will it make a difference if I buy here, or in Singapore or in Germany?

So in short, will the specs on all 3 phones remain the same?
 
It doesn't matter where you buy the phone, the unlocked iPhone is the same worldwide.

Thank you for the response.

That means wherever I buy, the antennas will be the same with same technical specifications?

There wont be a network bandwidth differences compared to locked iPhone 4Ses?
 
Factory unlocked is factory unlocked is factory unlocked. It does not matter. Exact same specs.

----------

To further note: Bandwidth is dependent on the carrier you are using. The modem is however only going to work as fast as 14.4 Mbps on GSM and about 3.1 Mbps over CDMA. Both of these are in optimal environments and do not reflect real-world conditions. Then again, The CDMA portion of your iPhone will not work since it is GSM unlocked.

the only difference is the price of the factory unlocked!
