If I buy an iPhone in USA, will it work when I return to Australia?

I have an iPhone 5 that I purchased in Australia and dropped it in salt water at the beach. I am heading to Hawaii next week and was wondering
1. Will I be able to get a replacement phone from the genius bar in Hawaii?
2. If I can get a replacement, what model will I get as I know apple do not sell iPhone 5 anymore?
2. If I can get a replacement phone, will the replacement iPhone work fine back in Australia with an Australian sim card?
3. How much would this cost?
Thank you.

It is Prudent to purchase the Phone in the Country it is intended for use in... it will then work as expected.
If you are attracted by the seemingly  Cheap   prices in the US... you are failing to take into account that you are probably looking at the phones that are LOCKED and CONTRACTED to a US Carrier.
AND...
iPhone Warranty  >  The warranty is only valid in the country of original purchase... Except for EU Countries..

  • If i buy an iphone in Kuwait will it work in the UK?

    If I buy an iphone from Kuwait will it work in the UK please?

    If I buy from Zain or Viva - I think these are networks in Kuwait - would it still work in the UK pls?
    Yes, it should.
    What is a legitimate source - Apple Store, or authorised Apple resellers?
    There is no Apple Store in Kuwait (not one run by Apple themselves, in any case). Viva and Zain are the only authorized resellers of the iPhone in Kuwait.

  • If i buy an iPhone in Malaysia,will it works in India?

    I am currently living in Malaysia and I am going to study my Medicine in India soon.
    As we all know iPhone 6 will be released real soon rumored to be around September 2014.
    So my question is if i buy an iPhone 6 in Malaysia,will it still works when I move to India? As I know,you can't use an iPhone which has been brought directly from US due to the SIM -lock I guess..
    Will it be the same if I buy an iPhone in Malaysia and can't use it in India or I need to do some kind of unlock process in India?
    Thanks in advance..

    I see..Let's say if it is an unlocked iPhone which I'm able to use it in Malaysia,so i will also be able to use it in India right?
    The locked iPhone is only usable in US whereas the unlocked one will be usable in anywhere outside US?
    Thanks for replying ^^
    Oh ya,I know that initially all iPhone were only subjected to AT&T carrier which is the US carrier..So is it means we can use it on whatever carrier at anywhere outside of US after we have unlocked it?

  • If i buy an iphone4 from USA, will it work in Australia?

    Will it work in Australia?

    If you want to buy an iPhone in the US and use it in other countries, you MUST buy an unlocked iPhone from the Apple store.
    Keep in mind that warranty is country specific.  Unless you're just getting a heck of a deal because of the currency exchange rate, you are better off buying one in the country you intend to use it in.

    If it's Wi-Fi only model then yes.
    If it's Wi-Fi + Cellular model, it will work but not on LTE.

    Hello,
    I understand that you have two separate questions. To address your first, regarding your ringer:
    iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic

    You also inquired about a prompt regarding the Sim card being Locked:

  • If i will buy iphone 6 without preference to operator in USA, will it work in Russia?

    if i will buy iphone 6 without preference to operator in USA, will it work in Russia?

    There currently are no unlocked versions of the iPhone 6 being sold in the US.
    Unlocked versions are available in other nations.
    Remember that the warranty on an iPhone purchased in the US is valid only in
    the US and 4G/LTE probably will not work in your location.
    Wait until the iPhone 6 becomes available where you are to avoid these and other
    problems.

  • 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.

  • If I buy a iPhone in USA in bring it to Brasil, it will works as well?

    Hi there,
    If I buy a iPhone in USA and bring it to Brasil, it will works as well? With all telephone company? The one I use is VIVO.
    tks,
    Elisabeth

    You must purchase an unlocked GSM iPhone 4 which Apple just began selling over the last week or two (a CDMA iPhone 4 is also sold in the U.S.). Not sure if the unlocked GSM iPhone 4 is sold at Apple retail stores or just via Apple's online store. If an exchange under warranty is required for such an iPhone, you may have to return to the U.S. for the exchange under warranty.

  • If i buy an iphone 5c in usa will it work in in Italy?

    If i buy an iphone 5c in USA, will it work in Italy ?

    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:
    http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5c
    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 unlocked iphone 5 in usa,will it work in india....?

    if i buy iphone5 in usa ,will it work in india??

    No, because there are no officially unlocked iPhone 5's for sale in the US at present. They are all carrier locked. Check back in 4 ~ 6 weeks.

  • I want to buy a iphone in usa and use it in india its possible

    I want to buy an iphone in usa and use it in india its possible. Because in india there is no authorized unlocked carrier.

    Hello and welcome to discussions. First of all, for the future, please use the subject-field for its intended purpose and put the question into the message body.
    Second, as far as I am aware no unlocked iPhones are sold in the US, which means you should bring one from Spain if they sell them there. But I guess someone from the US will be able to clarify this.

  • Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

    Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

    If you use a credit card from a financial institution in the US,
    with a verified billing address in the US, and ship the order to
    the US. Warranty will be valid only in the US and LTE will not
    work in EU. The low prices you see for some iPhones are
    because the iPhone requires a 2 year contract with a wireless
    carrier in the US. Prices for unlocked (useable with any carrier)
    iPhone 5 are $649 for 16 GB, $747 for 32 GB, and $849 for 64 GB
    + applicable taxes which will vary with shipping destination within
    the US. Still interested?

  • If i buy an iphone in USA and don't buy a contract, could i use it in Denmark then and buy a contract their and still have no problems with the iPhone.

    If i buy an iphone in USA and don't buy a contract, could i use it in Denmark then and buy a contract their and still have no problems with the iPhone.

    If you buy an Unlocked iPhone from the US, you can use that phone on any carrier that supports that particular phone (either GSM or CDMA). So yes, this is possible. But if anything happens to the phone that requires Apple's help, you will have to ship it back to US for that service.

  • If I buy an iphone in USA can I use it in the UK with my UK provider Virgin Mobile

    If I buy an iphone in USA can I use it in the UK with my UK provider Virgin Mobile

    It is advisable to purchase the phone in the country you intend to use it.
    1)  You will have Warranty...
    2)  your phone will work as expected.
    3)  Unless Purchased Directly from Apple as an UNLOCKED device, the iPhones will be Locked to a US Carrier.. usually for a 2 year contract period.
