If rumors are right… the EU iPhone might be the only one with USBC and sideloading so might have to buy it there. Then the ideal setup is

- EU iPhone 15 (hopefully this works with US cellular networks, otherwise I need to reconsider) with US App Store
- iPhone X A1865, the last “international” iPhone that works in China, with China App Store and Chinese apps
