If I buy an iPad 2 in the USA will it work in the UK?

I am heading to Chicago next week and thought I might pick up an iPad 2 while I am there. Seems I can get more for my money. I wanted to check that if I buy an iPad 2 from the USA that it'll work properly when I get back to the UK.
Is the keyboard is universal?
Can I use my existing iTunes account?
Will it Sunc with my UK MacBook?
Can I use a UK microsim with it?
Other than the plug are the USA and UK iPad 2's exactly the same?
Thanks.

I bought an IPad2 in Boston couple of weeks back and it works fine here in the UK.
Specifically in answer to your questions,
the keypad is universal - just set it UK English in 'Settings'
my UK iTunes account works without any trouble - the Apple shop are keen to set everything up before you leave the store, so I let them do it.
it synchs with my iMac
I only the wi-fi version, so I'm not too sure about the micro sim
There's no difference between the US and UK versions.
A few other things,
I saved £70.00 on the 32 Gb wi-fi version.  That included paying State tax, which varies - you may not have to pay tax in Chicago or it may be a different rate, worth checking and how much.
They might tell you'll have to buy a UK charger but all I've done is swap the UK plug attachment I already had from my MacBook onto the charger unit that comes with the iPad and that works fine.  It will also charge from my iMac if I connect it (the Apple guy in Boston told me it wouldn't)
Remember the UK customs duty allowances.........

    It will work in the UK, though you will need a plug adapter for the charger (you don't need a convertor for the charger).
    If you get a 3G version then get the AT&T version as they use micro-sim cards, so you can swap in a UK micro-sim card. The Verizon iPad is CDMA based and doesn't use micro-sim cards, so from a built-in 3G point of view isn't much use in the UK (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe).

  • I bought my iPhone in the USA; will facetime work in the UAE?

    I bought my iPhone in Oklahoma, USA. Will facetime work on it when I'm in the UAE?

    Carriers lock phones.  Only Carriers can unlock them.  Contact the carrier to whom your phone is locked.  See if they allow unlocking, and if they do, what the qualifications are.

  • If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase

    If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase? Cheers

    Each country is a separate business. If Apple in Australia fixes a phone purchased in another country it reduces their profit. The good news is that Apple stores will frequently replace phones purchased in other countries under warranty, but they are not required to do so. Some countries are more liberal than others. India never does, for example.
    Why don't you just buy it in Australia? The price difference can't be that great.

  • When i buy a ipad mini from verizon will it work in india

    BobTheFisherman, thank you
    I'm grateful that you helped me with understanding it. Now I get it.
    Dah•veed, with all due respect,
    What I asked about is the same thing ahmedsamiul707 asked about. I just wanted to know something more about the same thing. When you read the forum, you can see many threads which are exactly the same. Why add another thread if you have the same question? Only wanted an explanation. Was that so hard?
    So to make it clear - as BobTheFisherman provided - all iPads are unlocked.

    Before you buy, remember, that the warranty is only valid in the country where the phone was bought. In case your phone might need to be serviced, you'll have to send it back to the USA.
    If this fact does not matter to you, make sure to buy a SIM-free phone.
    More details here:

    If you buy iPhone for T-Mobile, it will arrive with a nano-SIM card already installed that you can activate by visiting an Apple Retail Store or a T-Mobile store or by calling T-Mobile. If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible nano-SIM card separately. In the United States, you can purchase such a SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM). For details on LTE support, see www.apple.com/iphone/LTE.

  • If I buy an ipad2 3G in the USA will it work with a UK sim card?

    If I buy a US ipad2 3G from an apple store in the USA, will it automatically work when I am back in the UK when I fit a UK cellular network micro sim card? Many thanks

    It should, from all the posts I've read. Just make sure you get the AT&T version, or more accurately NOT the Verizon version. (if you buy it from one of those retailers)
    There's 3 basic kinds of iPads.
    3G/Wifi with SIM
    3G/Wifi with CDMA (think that's the abbreviation)
    and
    Wifi only
    the Sim and wifi only will work in the UK with only a plug adapter, but the CDMA one is not compatible with the UK's cell system

  • Wasthinking of buying new ipad in new york will it work in uk

    Was thinking of buying an Ipad whilst in newyork in january,will it work in the uk

    The device may need to be unlocked for use on a carrier to one other than to which it is branded. EVEN if the device appears unbranded on the surface, it very well is branded internally to one carrier.
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_determine_if_my_BlackBerry_is_%22unlocked%22%3F
    IF the device has been used, make sure the device PIN is still not associated with a prior account. If it is , it will need to be "released" from the previous carrier account.
    These two items (Unlocked device and PIN release) are not related to each other and are separate items to check.
    To answer your direct question.. Yes, it should be no problem using the Duty Free purchased BlackBerry in the UK.

  • If i buy an iphone 5s from usa,will it work in turkey?

    Hi everyone,i want to buy an iphone 5s from usa but i am having doubts.If i buy it from an apple store,will it work in turkey?

    You will get 3G coveragae but LTE will most likely NOT work. Also, the warranty will not be valid in Turkey. Should the phone develop any issues you will have to take the phone back to the US for service.
