Hi everyone!
So i just purchased an new iPhone xr and it has "AA/A" in the model number, and according to so many articles these letter determine what country the phone belongs and I couldn't find the "AA/A" ones. So what does it really means? and is it something to be concerned about?

That code, part of the order number, is actually called "country of origin" and really is a code for the country where it was originally sold
AA is apparently not assigned to any particular country.
In my opinion (fwiw), it is one of the identifiers for Apple-refurbished iPhones.

"what country it belongs" is better represented by the 5-character model number, such as A2108.
