If I buy an unlocked iPhone5 in USA will it work in UK?

I'm away to the States on business in October. Considering the exchange rate it would be considerably cheaper for me to buy an unlocked iPhone5 over there.
However, I'm unsure whether it will work properly in the rest of the world? Does anyone know if the US spec will function properly in UK/Europe?
Of course, there may not be an unlocked version available by then but if there was.....?
Thanks
Chris

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).

If you buy an UNLOCKED iPhone directly from an Apple Store or apple.com you can use it in India, however, it will not work on LTE, only on GSM and 3G. And the warranty will not be honored in India.

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.

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.

Hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone from usa, dose it work in romania?

hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone 5 from usa, dose it work in romania?

You'd be better served by purchasing an officially unlocked iPhone 5 in one of the EU countries. Except for the EU, iPhone warranty/support is limited to the country of original purchase. Thus, you won't have any warranty or support, for a US iPhone, where you live. However, if you purchase an iPhone in any EU country, your warranty/support is EU wide. Further, US iPhone 5's do not support LTE in Europe, only the models sold in Europe support such. Given these two issues, doesn't it make more sense to purchase your phone in Europe?

If I buy an unlocked iPhone in Canada will it work in the UK?

Hello,
I'm going to Canada for a week in October. I was planning on buying an iPhone 5 for my daughter for christmas and noticed it was a lot cheaper in Canada so I was wondering if I bought an unlocked iPhone 5 in Canada could I put a o2 sim in it? And will it work in the UK?
Thanks

I am talking A1429 GSM which has bands 1,3,5
I assume this is not available in North America .( it is not )
Just found chart which identifies the models by geography
Another very good reason for not cross bordering
Thanks for the pointers

Depends on what you mean by "standard UK charger".
A current MBP's power supply is known as a MagSafe Power Adapter.
If you mean, will a US-bought MBP work with a UK-bought MagSafe adapter?, then the answer is, yes, of course.
If you mean, will a MagSafe adapter of a US-bought MBP work with the UK mains socket and voltage?, the answer is no for the former and yes for the latter. IOW, there's no problem with the voltage, but the pins won't match, so you'll need an adapter for that, or you'll need a UK MagSafe adapter AC power cord. You should be able to find the adapter in most large hardware stores.

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

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 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 iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?, If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?

If i buy an iphone in the USA will it still work when i move back to Canada?

You would probably want to look at a factory unlocked iPhone so you do not have to use a contract with a US carrier. And look at the network standards being used, in the US iPhones are CDMA (verizon and Sprint) and GSM (AT&T). What are the carriers in Canada using? If majority, or the carrier in your location are GSM then you should look at the GSM iPhone. Also check warranty and applicability in Canada...iPhone warranties are supposed to be valid only in the country of purchase.
AppleCare+ is available in the US and Canada but, again, be sure you can transfer the coverage to Canada.

Hello, if i bye an unlocked iphone 5 from UK or USA will it work in Bulgaria with Bulgarian operator

hello, if i bye an unlocked iphone 5 from UK or USA will it work in Bulgaria

If you live in Bulgaria, don't purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, because you can't purchase them there anyway at the moment.
From Bulgaria it is better to buy it in the UK where they do sell fully unlocked iPhone 5's and yes, it will work. The only problems you may have are with the LTE 4G as frequencies differ from country to country and in the UK, the first 4G network is only just being introduced at the end of October by EE, which is a collaboration between Orange and T-Mobile.
If you want an iPhone 5, then buy it in the UK and not the US.
