Other Buying iPhone in different country

[JohnRckr]

Hey everyone, earlier in the year I decided to switch to Android thinking I won't miss anything..
But after 2 months with S23U (which is a great phone, it's just... not IPhone), I really miss all my movies in Apple TV, all my books that I bought, and the feeling of apple scosystem.

And so in the end I want to go back to iPhone, and with the release of 15, naturally I'll go for that one. I will be traveling the whole October and I am hoping to get my hands on one in Italy, my question is if there are any downsides if I buy it there and not in the country I live in currently?

Price, credit card used possibly a consideration?

Absolutely, I live in Iceland where iphones are 20% more expensive than in Italy. And if possible in Apple stores, I'd pay with my international Usd card in Usd, if not, I'm not bothered about it.
