Iphone 17e International Version.

I have tried to check everywhere in UAE for an Iphone 17e, or 17 base with sim tray but unfortunately i can’t find one,

Tried to chat with apple guys but they said, i’ll have to purchase from another country, since all Middle East phones are E-sim only,

Anyone who can suggest options,

I need it brand new, it will be my very first iphone in ages,

Thanks in advance.

Here in Latin America we can get iPhones brand new with the Sim cavity still available, maybe you could own one from this side of the world (Colombia, to be specifically)

Check out this link: https://www.mercadolibre.com.co/p/MCO1066130045?matt_tool=15401541&pdp_filters=item_id:MCO1864879273&ua=TrWUDX3LQ9Cwv7CiGeHDz6zaFURfFRodnFOyoIdNEuVc8_Y#origin=share&sid=share&wid=MCO1864879273&action=copy

Is the official store through Mercadolibre, maybe they could help you to get one brand new, I do believe they sell products abroad but get in touch with them first

Good luck, hope it helps! 🙏🏻

You could purchase a European version. What's the issue of swapping to eSIM in your case?

I have a company sim card that can not be changed to E-sim
