What is the country of origin for my iPhone 15 model contain ZP/A?

If it were Hong Kong or Macau, it would not have an eSIM. It would be dual physical SIMs only.

The /A codes seem to be getting somewhat less reliable a method to identify the country of original sale lately... or at least there is more confusion as more markets are introduced.

Technically there are some models for Hong Kong and Macau that do support eSim, though the iPhone 15 is not among them.

From: Using Dual SIM with two nano-SIM cards - Apple Support

If you have an iPhone 16e, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation), or an iPhone XS in Hong Kong or Macao, learn how to use Dual SIM with an eSIM.

It would appear the ZP model ID is also used for Singapore now.

It's hard to be 100% certain these days as KT suggests.

It isn't all that easy to identify the country of origin. In the case of the author, they were likely correctly informed the phone was intended for Singapore.

I read that ZP was Singapore, but Bob Timmons showed it's for Hong Kong/Macau. I imagine Wiki is as good a source as one can trust.

This is an AI Generated response I found:

"The ZP/A code indicates that the iPhone is intended for Singapore. This code has been used for Singaporean iPhones prior to 2021 and is also used for the iPhone 15 Pro Max models for Singapore. It's important to note that while ZP/A is associated with Singapore, ZA/A is typically associated with Hong Kong."

Now I'm confused which is correct?

Not a big deal, but you may have meant to say that Phil0124 provided that information above, since this is my first post on this thread.

It is confusing. Normally, phones to be sold in Hong/Kong/Macau are dual SIM, since eSIM is not used in China as far as I know. For that reason, my vote would be Singapore.

Yes, sorry. I meant that Phil0124 provided that.

ZP indicates its model made for sale in Hong Kong and Macau, not Singapore, Singapore uses ZA.

You're right. It is NOT a dual physical SIM phone, so it could not be for Hong Kong/Macau. Wiki got it wrong.

No worries.
