Buying an iPhone from Germany?

    I’m looking at buying an iPhone 11 from the Amazon.de website for the teen. It’s cheaper.

    Is there any disadvantage from buying from Germany?
    For example, is the spec the exact same as here? Will it be a 2 pin plug or will I have voltage issues to look out for?

    Might be silly to ask, but it’s still a lot of money.

    Thanks!

    No, she likes the XR too, thanks a mill.
    Do you know if U.K phones take an Irish sim? I heard before that they work from a different mobile setting to us.

    I'll actually answer the question you asked!

    No disadvantage, the plug will be different so you'll need an adapter. Other than that if it's a saving then go for it.

    U.K. and Irish versions are the exact same.
