Wonder if you could get an eu iPhone in the us, or use a vpn, or something else…

Probably ok with VPN if you never allow the phone to detect its location (gps and cell towers) cause Apple would know immediately.

But that begs the question of what happen to EU users traveling outside the EU region?

Features are locked to the region the phone was designed for so nothing software will work.

So theoretically importing a European iPhone can unlock features?

Otherwise a European traveler would suddenly have his apps stop working outside EU

Yes. The region the iphone ins manufactured for determines it's features it gets.

Yes you can. I imported my iPhone 15 from Canada because I wanted the physical sim car slot. It costs a pretty penny but if it’s what you value then it’s worth it.

I just bought mine on eBay and it showed up in like 3 days.
