Japanese iPhone 6 Plus in UK

Ok, so thinking of purchasing an iPhone 6 Plus when I take a trip to Tokyo.
I'm almost positive it will work fine, but just wanted some reassurance? It is the exact same model right, so the only difference I would see is literally the packaging?
But also, with the warranty/support, is this global? Would I be able to walk into an Apple Store in the UK, and get any repairs or a replacement if need be?
Thanks in advance

No and no. Buy the phone in the country you intend to use it in.

    My iphone plus is bending, what does Apple offer regarding this issue?
    I am trying to get to contact with Apple Customer Care, but not clear to me how to do it beside this channel of communication. I bought the phone from kosovar carrier which is under Slovenian ownership. This means that the original warranty comes from Slovenia, bit complicated but still I would like to get an urgent answer how to proceed with this issue, thanks

    Maybe i should have only asked if anyone is aware on apple's policy
    regarding bending. I took the point that this seems not a proper forum to
    pose Q's to apple thanks to both

  • Japanese iPhone outwith Japan

    Hello.
    I was wondering about the feasability of bringing an iPhone 5s back from Japan to the UK.
    Would everything on the iPhone work as normal? I've heard that Japanese iPhones can only work on 3G and above, sadly I live in rural Scotland and 3G+ is not to be found in my immediate area. Is it true?
    Anything else that may cause a problem? Language isn't an issue.
    Thank you.

    SIM Free does not mean Unlocked. As far as I am aware Unlocked phones are not available in Japan.
    ALSO...
    It is Prudent to purchase the Phone in the Country it is intended for use in... it will then work as expected.
    AND...
    iPhone Warranty  >  The warranty is only valid in the country of original purchase... Except for EU Countries...

  • Japanese iPhone shows AU and no service

    Hi guys
    my friend got a japanese iPhone and he is in China,yesterday his iphone has no service and shows AU in state bar,
    it doesnt work now,anybody tells me what should i do?

    iPhones from Japan are carrier locked and can not be legitimately unlocked. If your friend is attempting to roam using his Japanese carrier in China, he'll have to address the issue with his carrier. China is a big place... The roaming partner(s) may not have coverage where he is.
    If he is trying to use a Chinese carrier on his Japanese phone... he can't do that.

  • HT201328 how to unlock Japanese iPhone 4 and iphone 4s?

    Currently, the unlocking of Japanese iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s (bought from Softbank) has not supported yet in my country. Can anyone suggest a way to get these phones workable when I go back to my country? I have checked that Softbank - the carrier - does not support authorized unlocking. Maybe Apple can do it?

    No. There is no way to legitimately unlock a phone locked to Softbank.

  • I have a 16 Gb iphone plus can I pay to have more storage?

    I got a new Iphone 6 plus from C.C. at sears but all they wereoffering in the 16 GB phone but I like there share plans for my wife and I; and they use AT&T cell towers which works great for us where we live. I would of rather of had a larger Gb like 64 or more so can I go to my nearest apple store and pay to have my cell phone up graded? I have a 30 days to use and If I don't like the phone I can send it back, but I really like the phone just not the storage. I only added 6 new ring tones and have use up already 4 gb of memory I was blown away. this phone will be out of storage in no time even with I-cloud so this is the question I am willing to pay for an up grade is it possible or should I send it back and go to the apple store and get the one I want the go back to sears and Consumer Cellular and still use them for my service? with my phone thanks in advance Zack.

    Apple will not accept a return for an iPhone purchased at Consumer Cellular. You cannot
    add additional memory to an iPhone. If you wish one with more memory, sell
    the one you have and use the funds received towards the purchase of the model
    you desire.
    You can return your current iPhone to your wireless provide, purchase one with
    more memory at Apple and take that iPhone to Consumer Cellular to have them
    activate it on their network. Before doing so, be use that Consumer Cellular will
    accept iPhones not purchased directly from them and if they do, which models
    they support.

  • Comparing the iPhone 3G with my current Japanese iPhone (trying to decide)

    I'm trying to decide whether or not to switch to an iPhone 3G now that it has been released here in Japan. I currently use an AU cell phone by Casio. I would have to switch to Softbank, but you can keep your old phone number now, so that's no problem.
    The iPhone certainly has it's attractions. It also has it's drawbacks compared to phones here. I think it adds up differently for different people depending on which features they think are important. Here is how I have been currently thinking about it. Please tell me if I got any of the iPhone features wrong!
    iPhone = how I rank the iPhone feature on a 0-10 scale
    current = how I rank my current Japanese cell phone on a 0-10 scale
    weight = how important I think the feature is on a 0-10 scale
    (1) Web Surfing - iPhone 10 / current 3 / weight 10
    The iPhone's browser is clearly the best cell phone web browser anywhere.
    (2) Camera Still - iPhone 3 / current 5 / weight 8
    My current cell phone's quality has never been pleasing, and is the same 2 megapixel resolution of the iPhone. But it does have a flash and an image stabilizer, neither of which the iPhone has.
    (3) Camera Video - iPhone 0 / current 6 / weight 8
    It really is convenient to be able to shoot videos with your cell phone these days. The iPhone may be the ONLY cell phone in the world these days without that feature, which is very inexplicable. This might be the show-stopper for me. True, I usually shoot videos with my regular camera. In fact, I usually shoot still photos with my regular camera. Still, it is a very useful feature to have.
    (4) Electronic Wallet - iPhone 0 / current 10 / weight 5
    It really is convenient to just wave your cell phone at the train wicket, or at the convenience store, or vending machine and not fuss with cash. But the fact of the matter is there is also a card version of the e-money which I also have, so I can do the same thing by waving my unopened wallet at the same devices. So I could live without this feature. Recharging the e-money by cell phone is convenient though.
    (5) Cut and Paste - iPhone 0 / current phone 5 / weight 3
    I don't often use the feature, but it is relatively easy on my current phone to mark the begin and end of a section of text and then use copy/cut/paste. I can't believe the iPhone still doesn't have something as basic as that. It probably isn't a show stopper, but it does give me pause.
    (6) Digital TV receiver - iPhone 0 / current phone 9 / weight 1
    My Japanese friend really wants a new phone with a digital TV receiver so he can watch it on the trains to and from work. On the other hand, this isn't a show-stopper for me because I very rarely use the TV feature.
    (7) Replaceable battery pack - iPhone 0 / current phone 10 / weight 2
    Most Japanese seem to be very taken aback that you can't remove and change the battery pack yourself and switch to a spare when out for a long day. That sort of bothers me too, but the fact of the matter is I've never done that with any of my previous phones, so don't think I would worry about it. I am guessing there are portable rechargers available that run on batteries, right? I've used those before.
    (8) Applications - iPhone 10 / current phone 2 / weight 10
    The iPhone clearly has all the other cell phones beat in terms of applications. I've always been very disappointed with the lack of interesting apps available for my Japanese cell phones. I am assuming there is a PDF viewer available?
    (9) Email - iPhone 7 / current phone 7 / weight 10
    I haven't used the iPhone email app so I am just guessing. I assume you can have file attachments, right? Like send photos via email? Can you have multiple attachments in one email? iPhone email isn't "push" yet, right? You have to poll for new messages. My current phone uses push technology, like a Blackberry does, so it receives email automatically as soon as it is sent.
    (10) Keyboard - iPhone ? / current phone ? / weight 10
    I still can't figure out which is easier to use. My current cell phone is easy to input in Japanese, but hard to input in English! I suspect that the iPhone is the opposite - probably easier to input in English because of the full kb, but more difficult in Japanese. Also the lack of there being buttons or tactile feedback might make it harder to user.
    (11) Display - iPhone 8 / current phone 6 / weight 10
    The iPhone's display is larger and brighter. On the other hand, my current phone's display has a higher resolution.
    (12) Music features - iPhone 10 / current phone 2 / weight 7
    Having a built-in iPod is very nice. My current phone has the AU music system built in but it doesn't work well with Macs. A Windows person might find it more useful.
    I also read about a "yellow-ish tint" problem with the new iPhones. That's something I wouldn't want to get into. Another headache with Apple over some quality problem, like I had with my iPod nano 3G that I ended up getting a refund for. I don't think I could take that right now. Has that issue been resolved?
    Thanks!

    (3) Apple didn`t include video support because of the quality of the 2 MP camera, they are known as being the best in video and photography, so enabling video would result in a poor quality, Apple`s approach on this was all or nothing.
    (9) It supports loads of attachments such as PDF, DOC, images, that can be saved to the phone, or attached right after making them from the Camera Roll, and actually it supports push email, via the "Mobile Me" service from Apple (.Mac). This requires a anual payment, but it`s not that expensive, considering that you can use it with PC`s, Macs, and your phone.
    (10) The iPhones keyboard is the best I`ve ever used, i takes about a week to write fast, and about 2 to be a pro, and I mean really fast :))
    PS: What`s your current phone ?

  • Registering a Japanese iPhone as an American

    I'm an American military spouse currently stationed in Japan. I purchased an iPhone a little over a month ago, with a Japanese carrier, and obviously have a Japanese (11 digit) phone number. I already have an Apple ID, which is associated with my (pre-existing) Mobile Me account. When I try to go through the "register my iPhone" process in iTunes, I hit a roadblock when I have to enter my iPhone's phone number, because it is expecting an American 10-digit number. I'm guessing that if I registered it under a different (new) Apple ID I'd be able to indicate that I live in Japan and enter my Japanese number with no problem; however, I'm worried that this would cause problems for me - namely, not being able to buy American content from the iTunes store, and not being able to sync my iPhone with my Mobile Me account (since my phone would be registered under a different Apple ID).
    Any ideas? Advice? I don't like the idea of going 3 years with an unregistered phone, but I also don't want to be unable to download American TV shows because honestly, iTunes is a pretty important lifeline to American culture for us.
    TIA!

  • Use a japanese iphone with a european sim card?

    Hello,
    My question is: Is it possible to use an iphone purchased in Japan (with a japanese sim card) in Europe with a european Sim card. I know it has to be unlocked but that's not a problem. My concern is the Sim card.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Using a Japanese iPhone in US while on vacation

    I think the topic says it all. What options are available to iPhone users with phones purchased in other countries, using carriers from those countries when they visit the US?

  • Japanese iPhone Questions

    My wife is moving from Tokyo to the US soon, and her current mobile phone won't work in the US. I've got a few cell phone questions and looking for some advice. She speaks English pretty well, but I figure it'd be easier for her if the new phone she gets were in Japanese.
    I suggested getting an iPhone, since I assume she can switch between English and Japanese for the display, menus, etc (since it just has "virtual" keys"). Is this correct? Would it make any difference if she got the iPhone in Japan and brought it here (and change the SIM card to get a US phone number), or if she just bought it in the US? I'm guessing it'd be easier to buy it here, assuming that she can change the language it displays. Is there any unlocking to do for the phone to work in the US and Japan (most of the time, it'll be in the US, except for visits back to Japan once in a while).
    Would another phone (from the myriad of phones they have in Japan) work here if she changes the SIM card when she gets here? This is if she prefers a different phone instead of the iPhone.
    I've got Verizon now (have used them for many years), but I'm thinking switching to AT&T would be better for this situation, if we get a Japanese phone (so we can switch SIM cards).
    Thanks in advance

    I contacted Softbank yesterday about the possibility of using my AT&T iPhone in Japan on their network and simply renting a sim card. Here is the text from their reply. I hope it is helpful.

  • Japanese iPhone sync with old American iPhone

    I bought a new iPhone in Okinawa and tried to register it on the Apple website, but it will not let me input a Japanese phone number.  Should I use my old American phone number to sync my phone and keep all my previous iPhone information?

    I bought the iPhone in Japan and live here in Okinawa now.  It is linked to a Japanese carrier, but the Apple website to register the phone still won't let me put in an Okinawa phone number.  It says "the phone number must have at least 3 numbers for the area code...7 numbers for the phone number..."
