In order to deal with PCT models once and for all, we have collected the differences for all current iPhones in one place.

PCT devices are products officially imported into Russia that have Rostest certificates

This means that all the declared functions of the device will work on the territory of the country, and the official manufacturer's warranty will apply to the device.

The so-called "gray" devices, which are brought from Europe or the USA, can either fully work or be unsuitable for some services. There may be problems with the warranty of such devices.

Before buying an iPhone from your hands, in an online store and a specialized place for the sale of equipment, you should always check the model of the device.

How to find out the model and country of origin of iPhone

The model number is printed on the back cover of the device and on the box. Of course, the codes must match. Sellers usually do not hide this information.

To find out where a particular device model comes from, you should look at the box or find the data in the device itself along the way. "Settings - General - about this device". Country information is carried by the last two Latin letters in your model code.

The country will be more difficult. Usually, this information is not advertised during the sale. You can most often view the region of the iPhone directly upon receipt of the device.

When you have decided on the origin of the model, you can understand the distinctive features of the device.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

In addition to these models, you can find models from Japan (A1779 and A1785). They do not turn off the shutter sound in the standard Camera application, there is a FeliCa module for payments and transfers via Apple Pay. Such models may not work correctly with domestic payment terminals.

There are other minor differences for models from certain countries or regions, more on that.

Models A1660 and A1661 have a faster LTE module. Under ideal conditions, the difference in speed can be up to 30%.

Models A1778 and A1784 officially serviced in Russia. There will definitely be no problems with them when contacting a service center.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus

Models certified for sale in the Russian Federation have codes: A1688 and A1687. Other models A1633, A1700 A1634, A1699 are for sale in the US and Asia.

There are some differences in the supported frequencies, however, they are not so critical. There is no real difference in the speed of mobile Internet, all models will work with domestic operators.

The only difference is in the official guarantee on the territory of the Russian Federation. Models A1688 and A1687 will be serviced under warranty at any authorized service center, but they may refuse to repair or replace other models.

iPhone SE

When buying this model, you need maximum attention. It's all about the supported LTE bands. Almost all domestic and many European operators operate on frequencies that are not supported by the American model.

For iPhone SE A1662 LTE will only work with some operators and not in all regions of the country. To avoid problems with LTE in Russia, choose models A1723 and A1724.

The situation with warranty service has not been canceled.

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

PCT models have codes: A1586 and A1524. On sale you can find such devices: A1549, A1589, A1522, A1593.

The situation is similar with the iPhone SE. Models A1549 and A1522 do not support operation in LTE Band 38, MTS and Megafon operators work at this frequency. Such devices will be able to access the network only via 3G or will have to change the operator.

iPhone 5s

Here is the largest variety of models. PCT devices have a code A1457, there are still these: A1453, A1518, A1528, A1530, A1533.

iPhone 5s A1533 is a CDMA device. If you don’t know what it is for, avoid such an iPhone.

A1530- universal model with support for all possible frequencies. It will support LTE for all Russian operators, it will work with 4G networks almost anywhere in the world.

A1528- a device intended for sale in China. The GSM device has a simplified module and does not work with 4G LTE at all.

A1518- another Asian model. Of the frequencies we need, there is only Band 38. Some operators will have problems with LTE.

A1453 of the LTE frequencies we are interested in, only Band 20 is supported, which means that almost all operators may have problems with high-speed connection in most regions.

Just in case, More about the warranty:

1. PCT models purchased in Russia from

Gray iPhones are always popular in our country in the first days after the start of sales around the world. The reason is simple - Russia usually receives official deliveries only to the so-called second wave of countries in which Apple smartphones begin to be sold. This usually happens no earlier than a few weeks or even months after the start of sales in the US and other countries.

Of course, one of the most important questions that interests many is whether their iPhone will work in our LTE networks.

The answer to this question can only be given by the operator, and even then not always. We compared the network capabilities of the "sixes", which will be sold in the world from September 19, with the supported LTE networks of our domestic operators. Based on the results of the study, a table was compiled.

In addition, in this article we will touch on the prices of new smartphones from Apple and decide where is the best place to go to get the new product one of the first.

Let's look at the supported frequencies, iPhone models and other nuances, since September 19 the start of sales is indicated in just a few countries, including: the USA, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Singapore, Japan, Australia and Hong Kong.

In all these countries, pre-order in the online store will be open from September 12. Without these troubles, devices can only be purchased by standing in line in front of Apple Stores.

The difference between GMS and CDMA versions is minor. The latter, in addition to all four generations of networks, support operation in CDMA networks. GSM-models will "swallow" any SIM-cards from operators with 2G-4G connection.

Here, the iPhone will be available both from operators with a contract and without a contract (in the Apple Store or in T-Mobile stores). The situation in each store will be ambiguous, therefore, if you are planning to buy a smartphone in the states, I recommend that you find the contacts of a specific point of sale and find out everything by phone in advance.

So, American operators such as Aio, AT&T, Cricket, T-Mobile or Verizon will have the following smartphone models available:

• iPhone 6 will only be sold in two models: A1549 (GSM) and A1549 (CDMA)
• iPhone 6 Plus has the following articles: A1522 (GSM) and A1522 (CDMA)

E These device versions will support the following fourth generation bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29.

Other US carriers (C Spire, Sprint, US Cellular) will have other models available:

• iPhone 6 Only two models will be sold: A1586
• iPhone 6 Plus has the following articles: A1524

Accordingly, these models have support for all networks, including CDMA- operators, and also catch extended ranges of bands LTE:

• FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29)
• TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40, 41)

Information about the model without a contract, which will be sold in communication stores T Mobile currently missing. Now it is not yet clear what kind of article this modification will have and, in general, when the exact date of the start of its sales in America. It is worth waiting for the pre-order and already at this stage it will be possible to obtain the necessary information.

As for the prices for new items on the American market, I will give the cost of devices without a contract (in US dollars):

	16 GB	64 GB	128 GB
Apple iPhone 6
Apple iPhone 6 Plus

It is worth mentioning that this is the most adequate cost on the entire globe. However, an air ticket to any American city will cost at least twice as much as to the same Berlin. It is worth considering this as well.

Canada

The support situation LTE- networks in this country is absolutely identical to that in the United States. Same SKUs, same cellular bands.Only operators differ: Bell (including Virgin), MTS, Rogers (including Fido), SaskTel, Telus (including Koodo).

For purchase information iPhone in Canada, I will give only a table of prices for models (prices in local currency - Canadian dollar):

	16 GB	64 GB	128GB
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus			1079

Current exchange rate for today: 1 CAD=33, 66 rubles. Very democratic, but there are better options.

France

Only two versions of the devices we are reviewing will be sold here: iPhone 6A1586 and iPhone 6 Plus A1524. However, support for modifications with SKUs A1549 and A1522 guaranteed by the company. In other words: they bought the iPhone A1549 in America, which means that in France it will be possible to use it to the fullest.

In the land of haute cuisine iPhone can be purchased without a contract in Apple Store. New smartphone models will support the networks of operators such as Bouygues, Free, NRJ, Orange, SFR (including La Poste Mobile).

Prices in euros are as follows:

	16 GB	64 GB	128GB
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus			1019

The exchange rate of the European currency as of September 10, 2014 is 47.71 rubles. Taking into account the local tax, which, of course, can be returned at the airport, the game is still not worth the candle.

Great Britain

And here is the situation with models ( A15xx) and band support LTE- networks is the same as in the United States of America, despite the fact that only two models will be sold, as in France. Of course, the British already have their own operators: 3, EE, O2 (including Giffgaff) and Vodafone.

The order of English prices is as follows (British pound):

	16 GB	64 GB	128GB
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus

The current exchange rate of the British pound against the ruble is 1 GBP=59.56 rubles. Medium option. Is it necessary? If you happen to be in London on the 19th of this month, then why not.

Germany

Cellular services in the country of sausages and beer are provided by Deutsche Telekom, O2, Vodafone. And all the same two modifications of smartphones will be sold: A1586 and A1524. If Apple.com not lying, then models for the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico can easily work in German networks on an equal footing with native German iPhones.

We look at the table and find out for how much they can be bought (euros):

	16 GB	64 GB	128GB
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus

In my opinion, this is the best option, considering also the cost of a flight to Munich, Dresden or any other German city.

Japan

I will not repeat myself, since the layout is absolutely identical to the German, French and other markets. But the Japanese operators, of course, are different: KDDI, NTT docomo and Softbank.

The order of prices is as follows (Japanese yen):

	16 GB	64 GB	128GB
iPhone 6	67800	79800	89800
iPhone 6 Plus	79800	89800	99800

The current ratio to the Russian currency is: 1 JPY = 0.35 ruble, in other words, the maximum iPhone 6 Plus can be purchased in the country for almost 35,000 rubles. Great option. That's just the flight...

Singapore

Oper their own, Asian M1, SingTel and StarHub offer to buy modifications A1586 and A 1524 for the prices you can find below:

	16 GB	64 GB	128GB
iPhone 6		1148	1288
iPhone 6 Plus	1148	1288	1448

The course is as follows: 1 SGD = 29.35 rubles.

Australia

If we are talking about local operators, then our own trio reigns here: Optus (including Virgin), Telstra, Vodafone. From September 19, two modifications of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be sold here: A1586 and A 1524. As elsewhere. Support for foreigners under the numbers A1549 and A1522 also guaranteed.

C ena on "apple" smartphones in Australian dollars (1 AUD= 34.27 rubles) was set as follows:

	16 GB	64 GB	128GB
iPhone 6			1129
iPhone 6 Plus		1129	1249

Hong Kong

In this province of China (I hope I didn’t offend anyone with this wording), there are four supported operators: China Mobile Hong Kong, CSL, Hutchison and SmarTone.

1 Hong Kong dollar is equal to 4.79 rubles. Accordingly, the prices in local currency are as follows:

	16 GB	64 GB	128GB
iPhone 6	5588	6388	7188
iPhone 6 Plus	6388	7188	8088

However, buy in Hong Kong iPhone on the day of the start of sales, perhaps the most difficult. The thing is that the queue is even more enterprising than our compatriots, the Chinese. The latter buy up all the stocks of new devices and take them to their shops, where they sell, of course, already a little more than the official price. In general, it is necessary to prepare for the worst here.

Russia

Just in case, I remind you the order of our, domestic prices:

	16 GB	64 GB	128 GB
Apple iPhone 6
Apple iPhone 6 Plus

Now about the most interesting. Can the owners of gray devices brought from abroad hope that their devices will work in the networks of the fourth generation of our operators? The answer to this question is further down the text.

Beeline and Megafon have support for LTE networks 7 (2600 MHz) and 20 (800 DD). Megafon successfully registers devices in its network that are capable of catching the same bands. Accordingly, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models which are sold to all over the world, including the US, should easily be picked up by our high-speed networks.

MTS has support for LTE 7 networks. Therefore, any model of a new smartphone from Apple should work successfully in the networks of the largest operator in the CIS.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that our conclusions are not the ultimate truth. In theory, everything is exactly as stated above. In practice, the situation should not differ for the worse. Key word: "shouldn't". Without real tests, that is, before the start of sales, it is impossible to verify all this data, so let's focus on the information available at this stage.

Outcome

The most profitable way is to fly to Germany for a new iPhone or accidentally end up in Japan during the start of sales. Of course, all this is true for those who passionately dream of getting a new device before others and posting relevant photos on social networks. Well, why is it bad? Kind of an adventure.
