Buying an iPhone in the US as a visitor
- eSIM only: US iPhones have had no physical SIM tray since the iPhone 14. If your carrier at home doesn't support eSIM, a US model is not a good choice.
- Unlocked: buy it outright from Apple for an unlocked phone; carrier-financed phones may be locked.
- No tax refund: unlike Europe or the UAE, the US doesn't refund sales tax to tourists.
- Customs: you may have to pay import duty and VAT when you bring it home.
The rest of the lineup in the US: the iPhone 17 costs $929, the iPhone Air $1,099 and the iPhone Duo $1,999.
