[SOLVED] Which is the best place to buy iPhones 7 Plus, USA (Sim Free, Factory unlocked) or Dubai?

[GrumpyCat]

Need to buy two SIM Free iPhone 7 Plus, preferably from Apple Store, in warranty.

Two places from where i can order,

Dubai
USA (Sim Free, Factory Unlocked)

From where to order?.

Paying a little more is no issue, but there should not be any type of restrictions or incompatibilities.

- Is SIM Free Factory unlocked American iPhone 7 same as international model?
- Dubai vs American, which one is better for Pakistan use?
- Should be FaceTime enabled.
- Pakistani (LTE) compatible.
- Any weak signal issues
in American SIM Free iPhones, like most American iPhones?
- Any other restrictions in USA sim free model?
- Warranty claims scenarios.
- Any other incompatibility or restrictions?

Please guide.

1) Yes.
2) Makes no difference.
3) All iPhone variants are compatible with LTE networks in Pakistan.
4) None at all.

1) No.
2) Can be claimed at official Apple Store in Pakistan (Future Tech)
3) No.

Buying an iPhone is very simple.

Just do note as Pcsx said, iPhones bought officially in Dubai (through authorized resellers), do NOT have Facetime.

Buy a SIM Free Unlocked iPhone from the Apple Store or Apple website in the US, it works perfectly here.
