Can I buy an iPhone in America to use in Ireland?

Bought my current MBP from Sydney nearly 18 months ago and took out applecare at the same time as it was an absolute bargain. Screen started to flicker intermittently, took it to Apple - Southampton and they replaced the screen without a problem.

Hi Andy the son also got MBP from Australia and has had warranty repairs done - see if it's same for none warranty items and where they want to source the repair item from, if your back in the shop anytime soon.

I know this sounds daft but if you break it and it's not a warranty repair - say the screen for example, like I did,they'll tell you they have to have the American part to keep your warranty.
Now I couldn't be on with that sh*tie idea so just got a third party one fitted at a fraction of the price.

Pretty much told the same thing. Phone is only covered under American warranty but from past experience with Apple, they will squirm out of the warranty regardless so I would always go third party!

I've been told - If you take third party phone insurance they manage to get the repairs through no problem but I was to lazy for all that faff.

Revival of an old one but is anyone intending on buying the iphone 7 in the US?
