Will this iPhone work with your SIM and carrier?
Buying abroad or moving a line to a newer iPhone? Check regional SIM-tray differences, eSIM support, carrier activation evidence and the carrier-lock step before you rely on the phone.

Check Network & SIM
Launch coverage is intentionally narrow and high-confidence: iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max through iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia and Japan. No runtime carrier API is used.
Check
Important: SIM format, carrier eSIM support and radio-band compatibility are separate questions. A green SIM result is not a promise of local coverage, VoLTE/5G provisioning or carrier certification. For critical use, confirm the exact model number with the target carrier before purchase.

Why this matters
Same iPhone name, different SIM hardware
The phone name alone is not enough. Apple sells regional variants, and the SIM tray can differ by purchase market and generation.
U.S. iPhone abroad
U.S.-sold iPhone 15–18 Pro models in this beta are eSIM-only. The target carrier must support eSIM, and the phone should be unlocked if you are changing carriers.
Read the import guide →Canada and Japan changed with newer Pro models
For the Pro generations covered here, Canada and Japan move from nano-SIM + eSIM on iPhone 15/16 to eSIM-only on iPhone 17/18. Purchase market and generation both matter.
