Nope. You’ll need to travel further afield, and the warranties are not international. And eSIM is expanding.


“iPhone Air is activated with an eSIM and does not support a physical SIM. iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 models (model numbers A2650, A2651, A2649, A2632, A2846, A2847, A2848, A2849, A3081, A3082, A3083, A3084, A3212, A3256, A3257, A3258) offered by Apple for the U.S. and Puerto Rico are exclusively activated with an eSIM and do not support a physical SIM. iPhone 17 models (A3519, A3522, A3525) offered by Apple for Mexico are exclusively activated with an eSIM and do not support a physical SIM. Use of an eSIM requires a wireless service plan. See your carrier for details. To learn more, visit apple.com/lae/esim.”

me too, some of people sell it on ebay I wish (apple) they ordered for us and sent us

Some people also sell phones on eBay that are locked and not usable by you. Not sure what that has to do with what reason is needed for a Nano SIM in the US or the fact that the AppleCare warranty is not applicable. There are the considerations that need to be made.
