I've been thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 17 Pro, but the model sold here is eSIM only.
Should I buy an iPhone from abroad that has a physical SIM slot, would I be able to register it for Apple Care and get it repaired here?
In principle, I would not mind going eSIM, but it seems carriers are being utter bastards and charge at least ~450 yen when needing to move an eSIM between devices (or even should one have to do a factory reset), which is a fucking scam. Also makes it way harder when traveling, since a lot of carriers abroad just do not do eSIM.
