It maybe perfectly reasonable as far as it goes, but apart from Mark being the

of this list which is about the iPhone's accessibility features and physical

Then you should not support Apple by buying a phone which does not meet your

Most keyboards require you to type in a pairing code which should be displayed
on your iPhone screen and if you use Voiceover it should read out the code.
This is at least always how it's been when I paired a Logitech keyboard and you
do have to be a bit quick or it will time out.
It seems at this point you can't any more unless you start the text message in
messages and use the "Dictate" button.
I am also a bit ticked off at this, before after I told SIRI to send a text

As it stands even if Mark decides to buy the phone from somewhere else
it should work just fine here in the states. I mean people buy the

I think Mark’s question is perfectly reasonable and has become confused with
other issues.
Here in the UK my understanding is that iPhone models come with a removable SIM
tray. When I discussed ESIM with my provider EE the person I spoke to was far
from advising me that an ESIM was the way to

I'd expect it to just work. I get the situation where people want to be able to
use multiple phones by just switching out the SIM card, but that's not
something I'm interested in doing. When I got my iPhone 11, the person at the
AT store basically just handed me my phone and I could walk out of

I am not an expert in these things, but I think that phones in specific
countries are set up to use the cell bands in use in that country, so if you
buy one from outside the United States, you could have problems, in theory. I
could be wrong, but if it were me, I would investigate.
Well,

being someone that loves having the freedom to swap devices I get not

Well said, Julian.
In addition, if I pay the same money for a product as those outside the US,
then I expect the same feature set. It really is that simple. To me, selling
a phone model that does not offer the same features but that costs the same
price as the enhanced model, is insulting.
Ometimes it asks you to type in a code, usually in order to pair it.
Hope this helps,

Apparently the iPHone isn't expensive enough already so he wants to add the
cost of going to Canada for the sake of a physical sim tray, which of course is
his choice.

I also would be annoyed by not being able to use a sim tray. What if you have

used to be easy because all you have to do is simply switch the sim card from
one phone to the other. Now, as far as I know, you can't do
For what it's worth, some of us simply just enjoy the freedom of switching our
