My family and I are moving to Japan this summer and we are wondering if there are any restrictions regarding using foreign bought iPhones in Japan? I read several times that there may be legal consequences due to different radio frequencies but I also read that this is nothing but a tell tale in order to convince people to ditch their old phones and buy a brand new phone+contract.
In our case, we are using the newest iPhone 16 Pro Max and aren’t ready to ditch these, especially not with the 17series coming up in September/October.
Can anyone here tell, if there is any truth to these legal claims? Also, what’s the advice regarding getting a SIM card? The standard tourist sim is a bit too expensive to be dragged all the way to October, plus it doesn’t come with a number.
