What is the differences between international edition and middle east edition in iPhone 11 or 12

Amazon is mislabling the iPhone. There is no such thing as an international version.

The international version shown there is likely just a model for a country that is not UAE or other middle eastern country

Since some Middle Eastern countries ban certain iPhone features such as Facetime, the international version may just be referring to a model from a different country which would have Facetime or other banned features available on it for example.

Also that international version will likely not have a valid Warranty in the middle eastern country you may want to use it in.

Never mind the fact that it is technically illegal to sell those phones there.

Yup. I wonder what Apple's Authorized reseller terms have to say about selling un restricted phones in a restricted country.

Specifically advertising the fact it has Facetime in such countries. 🤷‍♂️

There is no such thing as an "international edition" of any iPhone.

The seller is actually Amazon.ae surprisingly enough:

The seller is intentionally misrepresenting the phone.

There is no "international version" of the iPhone.
