A new generation of Apple iPhone was launched in September 2019 and there are totally 3 phones in the lineup. Among all, the iPhone 11 is the most affordable version with the price tag ranging from $699 to $849.
Despite being the cheapest phone, the iPhone 11 still features the latest Apple A13 Bionic chip with third‑generation neural engine, IP68 water and dust resistance, a dual rear camera setup with an ultra-wide camera sensor, and an automatic night mode. Notably, the design of the iPhone 11 feels more refined as compared to the iPhone XR although they both use glass and aluminum. Some other specs include a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display with the pixel density of 326 ppi, 64/128/256 GB of internal storage, longer battery life, and a bunch of colors (Black, Green, Yellow, Purple, (PRODUCT)RED, and White).

The iPhone 11 hardware is really impressive and we have no doubt this could become the best-selling version this year. However, before ordering online, you should check carefully to make sure your smartphone would work with carriers in your country. Specifically, the iPhone 11 comes in three different model numbers which are A2111, A2221, and A2223. The hardware of the models is pretty much the same, except that they have different modems that cover different LTE bands. Therefore, the phone you buy overseas or from black markets might not work properly on your current carrier. You can check out the table below for more details.
iPhone 11 A2111
| Description | The iPhone 11 A2111 is the model released for the United States’ market. It is compatible with both GSM and CDMA networks. The A2111 is also available as a SIM-free factory-unlocked edition at Apple Store. Besides, you can also purchase it in other countries like Canada and Puerto Rico. The model supports dual SIM (eSIM and nano-SIM card) but if you plan to use it with two different carriers, you must buy the unlocked version from Apple Store to avoid restrictions; Some carriers might even disable eSIM feature. | |

Hi, will the A2111 purchased in the US work with LTE and 4G in Europe-Italy?

So I currently have an iPhone 7 Plus A1661 that works with my Verizon and China Mobile SIM Cards (I live between the US and China). I purchased this global unlocked phone at the Apple store in the US. I’m looking to upgrade to the iPhone 11 but it isn’t clear in this article which phone will work for both China and US carriers. Can you please let me know if there is a model that will work with both SIM cards? Will the A2111 SIM-free factory-unlocked edition work? Thanks!

janet g. says
So if I buy an A2111, can I use a straight talk SIM in it to run on verizon’s network?
Mark says
I’m confused about your carrier lists and different model numbers by carrier within each county. My understanding was that as long as the radio/modem supports bands the carrier uses it will work there. In this example all three models work on T-Mobile USA since GSM LTE channels 2, 4, and 12 work on all 3.
Tuan Do says
It means that’s the model number you get when purchasing from a carrier, it is not the only model compatible with that carrier since a lot of them are.

Sure, a lot of apps are unavailable on Chinese App Store. If you move to another country or change payment method, you can change your Apple ID country.
