iPhone 16 Pro Max Us citizen, able to order an international iphone?

[iemcj]

For those of us who travel around the world and NEED a physical sim slot to swap out on the go, is it possible to order one of the non US versions if I live here?

If I place an order and have it delivered to a trusted friend in mexico who will ship it to me.. is it going to be the US version cuz my account is here in america?

I haven't upgraded in a few years and it's startling that the US one doesn't have a sim card anymore and this will literally be a dealbreaker as I need it for work. Thanks all!

Might be easier for you to get your new iPhone when you travel next time.

But Esim is getting popular all over the world and is easy to set up.

I have a US line and a French line both on esim and never had an issue.

Check your US carrier for Bands, the EU spec iPhone does not have all the US 5G bands I believe?

FYI I have a 15 US version unlocked and get 5G all over Europe on both lines.
