Differences Between iPhone X Models (A1865, A1901, A1902)

By Tuan Do

The future of smartphones is here and it is the Apple iPhone X. This is the most expensive iPhone ever with the price tag of $999 at launch.

Unlike the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus which are just iterative improvements, the iPhone X is a special edition to celebrate the iPhone’s 10th anniversary. Its design, software, and hardware are totally different to previous iPhone generations. Apple removes the iconic home button on the front and now we have a futuristic design thanks to the 5.8-inch edge-to-edge OLED display, a stainless steel frame, and a glass back. Everything is put into a much smaller form factor.

Touch ID is replaced with Face ID by using the TrueDepth camera for facial recognition. The function boasts to be a lot more accurate than face-unlock systems on current Android smartphones. The rear cameras of iPhone X are also better than the ones on iPhone 8 Plus, the telephoto lens has a wider aperture of f/2.4 and optical image stabilization. Some other notable features of iPhone X include Qi wireless charging, A11 Bionic chip, and a slightly longer battery life.

Just like any other iPhone, the iPhone X comes in 3 models for different markets and carriers. We have the iPhone X A1865, A1901, and A1902. The models have almost the same specifications, except that Apple uses modem chips from the 2 manufacturers, Intel and Qualcomm; Therefore, the phones have different cellular bands. Before hitting the stores or placing an online order, make sure to check out all the differences below.

    The A1865 model supports both CDMA and GSM LTE networks. My carrier is T-Mobile but I would like this A1865 model for flexibility. Can I simply put my T-Mobile SIM into the A1865 and be good to go? Since model numbers are not given during the order process, should I therefore identify my carrier as Verizon to get the A1865 model and then simply put the T-Mobile SIM to get working? Thank you.

    • Tuan Do says

      Sep 15, 2017 at 12:12 pm

      Sure, you can. I always ordered the Verizon model since it’s unlocked and works well on T-Mobile. Besides, it is often available sooner than the SIM-free version.

      • Michael Peters says

        Sep 15, 2017 at 6:54 pm

        Thank you very much for your reply! So why does Apple even bother with the 1901 model if the 1865 can do both CDMA and GSM? Seems a bit silly and superfluous. Best, M.

      • Tuan Do says

        Sep 15, 2017 at 10:11 pm

        They have to use modem chips from both Qualcomm and Intel so that they could have a better price, better supply, and a higher level of customization. This is quite disappointing since the Qualcomm modem has better network support and stronger connections, Apple even had to disable the super-fast Gigabit LTE on Qualcomm since Intel modem doesn’t have this capability.

      • Greg Neutra says

        Sep 16, 2017 at 9:53 am

        So in the iPhone X, which model has the better Qualcomm modem?

      • John says

        Sep 15, 2017 at 9:35 pm

        How are you able to order the Verizon model without a Verizon account?

      • Tuan Do says

        Sep 15, 2017 at 10:01 pm

        You will have to pay full price if don’t have a Verizon account.

      • Michael says

        Sep 24, 2017 at 1:56 pm

        I’m checking on Apple’s site, and if I wanna order the iPhone 8 Verizon on their site I’m required to put in Verizon carrier info. I’m assuming the same thing will be done for the X as well.

      • Julien D says

        Sep 18, 2017 at 10:12 pm

        This isn’t entirely accurate. You have to have a Verizon account (postpaid) to order the X on launch day. Unlike the 8 and 8+, there will not be a SIM-free model available day 1 and if you choose Verizon as your carrier, Apple’s website checks/verifies that you have a Verizon account before it lets you continue.

      • Tuan Do says

        Sep 18, 2017 at 10:30 pm

        True, you can’t buy the Verizon iPhone online without verifying a postpaid account. However, you can walk into a physical Apple Store and buy it without any contract, you’ll just need to pay the full retail price.

      • Don Whiteside says

        Nov 6, 2017 at 5:00 pm

        And find a store with one in stock :) Which, given the current online order says 3-4 weeks till ship, is probably going to be fairly challenging.

      • DONNIA says

        Dec 5, 2017 at 8:04 pm

        not true… I don’t have Verizon and bought my phone out right through APPLE WEBSITE AND IT WORKS GREAT ACROSS ALL CARRIERS

      • Carlos says

        Nov 9, 2017 at 4:17 pm

        I dont know why but my iPhone is model A1865 and is locked to TMOBILE! WTH i bought it full price in best buy and they charged me extra 100usd and the phone is locked to Tmobile, I cant activate it with any other carrier!

      • Tuan Do says

        Nov 10, 2017 at 1:12 am

        Do not buy from Bestbuy, you will have to wait 40 more days to unlock the phone.

      • Bp says

        Dec 4, 2017 at 11:33 am

        It happened to me too, when i brought iPhone 7 Plus from Verizon store, but i put my tmobile sim in to activate at first time from open the box , them tmobile send locked code to lock my phone to tmobile network, i have to call apple customer service they told me my phone is lock from tmobile network, i have to call tmobile 3 time, the first 2 time the deny they have nothing to do with it, then the 3rd time i call again in 2 days later taked with superior, then they admit they did ( they said it new policy) and unlocked my phone within 15 minutes. You have to call them and fights for it , show apple or tmobile the receipt you bought from store and paid in full .. all 3 times i call i do have Apple customers service was involved at 3 ways conversations

      • Glenn says

        Dec 16, 2017 at 8:02 pm

        This is because Best Buy has a stock of only 1865’s. This way they can activate to any carrier. Once a T-Mobile sim is put in and activated its locked to T-mobile. It’s just how the Best Buy 1865’s are programmed based on their agreement w/ Apple and the carriers. The way around this is to buy the phone and tell Best Buy to leave it sealed. When you leave store put a Verizon Sim- any Verizon sim. Borrow from a friend if u have too. Once it activates to Verizon it is now unlocked forever as the first sim used was Verizon. You can now switch back and forth as you Wish between Carriers.

      • Josh says

        Jul 7, 2018 at 10:00 am

        That’s not true the sim doesn’t lock the phone … it’s certain carriers that are douchebags that lock the phones I bought mine from Verizon left them then Went to sprint then went to boost then digicel … it just depends on certain things they lock when your on a payment plan ,
        The. Some carriers just make it that way such as T-Mobile.

      • Ceyhun says

        Nov 17, 2017 at 3:16 am

        Do u have any idea Verizon iPhone x (which already unlocked) working in Turkey?? And also which iPhone x models A1865,A1901 or A1902 ??

      • iuludag says

        Nov 22, 2017 at 10:29 am

        A1901 is the one for Turkey. It is the same model number for T-mobile and AT&T. However, it is only to get service in Turkey. All models works with any sims, if it is unlocked.

        Infact, It is also said that Apple will not give service or guarantee for the phones that are not imported by Apple Turkey. So they’ll not check the model number for service anymore. They’ll check if the IMEI number shows that it is imported by Apple Turkey or not.

        As a result, you can buy from anywhere, any model without any problem. But you can not get service in TURKEY even if you want to pay for the service

      • Emre Sumengen says

        Dec 7, 2017 at 7:01 pm

        Hi all,

        Just to make things straight, that above policy for Apple, to NOT support devices imported, is not being enforced, at least for now.

        And, it also seems to be against Apple’s international warranty claim, isn’t it? I don’t have to have “imported” the device, and just happen to be anywhere in the world when my phone gets a problem. Apple’s international warranty “claims” to cover these, as long as the warranty terms are met.

        Anyhow, at least it is not being enforced to this day. (Had a friend’s phone serviced around 2 weeks ago, that we bought together during our trip to the US last summer.)

      • Matt R. says

        Dec 16, 2017 at 10:27 pm

        Hi, I had Face ID problem with my US Apple Store bought iPhone X (Model 1865). I was told that eventhough Apple products have limited one year global warranty it is not valid in Apple Store Turkey, it is only valid if iPhone is purchased from Apple Store Turkey. So they refused to give me any kind of help or service and told me to sent iPhone back to US.

      • onur says

        Aug 2, 2018 at 4:55 pm

        Matt R The problem is you buy US model if you buy the europe model your guarentee will valid in turkey.(I talked to apple turkey and thats what they said)

    • ctaya says

      Nov 5, 2017 at 9:05 pm

      The question is not only whether your SIM card would work or not, but more so can it in LTE or would just work in 3G.

    Hey, i live in Denmark and i’m on vacation in FL when the iPhone X is comming out, can i use both the A1865 and the A1901 in Denmark? Or do i need to buy A1901 to be abel use it in DK
    The Price in US is 300 usd cheaper then in DK and i Can enjoy it A bit before i come home

    • Tuan Do says

      Sep 16, 2017 at 10:12 am

      Absolutely, both versions work well in Denmark. Good luck purchasing the iPhone X then, I guess it would be sold out very soon.

        Are you sure about this? I want to buy A1865 version in Hong Kong. Do you think it will work in Slovakia (European countries)? Will Ibe able to use LTE and 3G call and everything just like I would if I had the other version?

        Thanks for your help in advance.

      • gaby says

        Nov 24, 2017 at 12:13 pm

        I’m using a Hong Kong iPhone 7 in EU with no problems. I even have better reception on T Mobile than a EU iPhone 7 all the time. I get LTE when a friend doesn’t. Same carrier.

  3. Greg Neutra says

    Sep 16, 2017 at 9:44 am

    So reading the comments but still not completely clear. What will be the difference between the A1865 version and the SIM -free version that will be released later?

    • Tuan Do says

      Sep 16, 2017 at 10:09 am

      They are the same phone. It is just that you can’t buy the Verizon A1865 online without a contract while the SIM-free version doesn’t come with a SIM card and it is available for a full price only. Also notice that the Sprint A1865 is locked if you buy it from Sprint. Besides, some people had trouble activating the SIM-free version on Sprint.

      • Greg Neutra says

        Sep 16, 2017 at 1:07 pm

        I went on Apple’s site and started a test purchase with an iPhone 8. I was able to buy the Verizon model without any problem (even though I’m with T-Mobile). I was also surprised to see the SIM-Free model available to order. Usually it take a month or so before it’s offered. We’ll see what happens with the iPhone X… Thanks for this article. It’s always confusing to me why Apple doesn’t just make one model that does everything. Seems like it would be way cheaper for them in the long run…

      • Daniel says

        Sep 16, 2017 at 3:33 pm

        How were you able to buy? Once you get to a certain page, it requires you to put in your carrier details, which won’t work unless you have a Verizon account…

      • Greg Neutra says

        Sep 17, 2017 at 3:14 pm

        You’re right Daniel. I took it just shy of the carrier validation screen. Wonder what would happen if I use a friend’s number just to purchase…

      • DONNIA says

        Dec 5, 2017 at 8:10 pm

        Just go through the chat on apple website and they will put it in the cart and let you check out. I got the Verizon 1865 (works across all carriers LTE,GSM and so on….)

    Hi
    I have maybe similar question as Kasper.
    My friend is in Florida right now, and we have a deal that he will buy the Iphone X for me there, and bring it to me to the Czech republic. But some people told me, that i can have a problem with LTE. because our mobile operator in czech using 800Mhz, and the iphone use 850 and not supported 800Mhz.. is it true, or is it just for older models like Iphone 5 etc.. You know, i dont want to buy something that will not work properly in my country :(

    Thank you!

    • Tuan Do says

      Sep 17, 2017 at 5:02 am

      Hi Michael,
      I’ve updated the post, hopefully, it helps clarify your concern. The iPhone X has all 800Mhz bands actually.

  5. Greg says

    Sep 16, 2017 at 6:10 pm

    Which model number should I buy if I want to purchase for use on the Telus network in Canada? Or if the check out processes doesn’t display the model number, which of the 4 US carriers should I select?

    Also is it as simple as just putting in my Canadian sim card into the iphone X I buy in the US?

    thanks!

    • Tuan Do says

      Sep 18, 2017 at 10:32 pm

      Hi Greg,
      All of the models are perfect for Telus Canada. You just need to make sure your device is unlocked: https://www.techwalls.com/buy-factory-unlocked-iphone-x-america/

    Apple has made a major error releasing these iphones. These are not the “smartphone of the future” as stated by CEO Cook. Smart or informed people will skip buying these models. Total nonsense and an example of how Apple takes advantage of a buyer’s lack of knowledge solely for their own maximum profit gain. Poor technology design and a product which is nothing but a “fashion statement”. Amazing Apple thinks anyone would buy their best (iphone) when it can only runs 1/2 the speed (data rate) while they cost almost twice as much than many from other cell phone builders.

      Do NOT buy the Japanese version if you’re not going to live in Japan. Although the phone itself will work fine everywhere in the world (in fact, it has even more frequencies than the others, to accomodate the Japan market), it has ONE feature which will make it basically useless elsewhere in the world: the shutter sound. Because of a gentleman’s agreement between the Japanese regulators and the phone manufacturers, no phone released after ~2000 or so has allowed turning off the shutter sound, even on mute. So your phone will ALWAYS make the shutter sound, even for screenshots, even if you reduce the volume or flick the volume switch to off. Therefore, be careful, and do NOT buy the Japanese version.

        Will the missing bands of the A1865 ( compared to the A1902) affect its performance /signal quality in Japan?

    Hi Tuan,

    Just wondering if it is possible to buy the iphone x online including Apple’s Iphone Upgrade Program from outside the US. I am from Chile and in the US is a lot cheaper than here. Also, in our local stores we do not have the possibility to include the upgrade program to pay the Iphone in 24 months.

    Thanks!

      Don’t buy the Japanese version. It has a camera shutter sound that can’t be switched off.

    I’m thinking to purchase a model 1865 in the US and use it in Japan (where I live). I hate the shutter sound…

    Will the missing antenna bands make a significant difference in performance?

      Will the missing bands of the A1865 ( compared to the A1902) affect its performance /signal quality in Japan? I’m in a similar situation. I just got the A1865 and two days later I was told that I am moving to Japan for work.

      • Shadowelite0523 says

        Nov 15, 2017 at 4:47 am

        I dont know much about the carriers, but because of the missing bands, coverage may be affected. The missing bands are LTE bands, but it should still work. You just won’t have as good LTE coverage.

      • ANONY says

        Feb 13, 2018 at 3:26 am

        I live in Japan, and bought a U.S. A1865 version. Yes it does affect performance in certain areas if you travel from one major area to another major city. During the transit, I lost signals a few times and got much reduced speed, compared to my friend’s iPhone X A1902, same everything including color and gb. Apple wouldn’t make a 1902 if they felt the 1865 would be sufficient for the Japanese market. They would save a ton of money and more profit had they felt 1865 could be implemented to full capacity in Japan. Hope this helps.

    I have a question regarding the different Network standards. I am currently living in China and would like to buy the iPhone X, so, the one which I will get at the Apple Store in China should be the A1865 Modell. But as I am actually from Germany and will return to Germany next year, the iPhones in German Apple stores are A1901 models, which use the GSM standard. Thus, did I get it right that I won’t have any problems with my China iPhone back in Germany because the A1865 Model is capable of working with both standards?
    I’m very careful on this one because I got into troubles with my German iPhone and a Verizon sim card in the United States, one year ago…. :D

    Thanks!

    • Shadowelite0523 says

      Nov 15, 2017 at 5:21 am

      You should be good to go. I have a the iPhone 7 Plus equivalent of the A1865 model and have no issues.

    Hey,

    If i but iphone 10 from apple.com on a sprint network bu paying full price, will that work with other providers as well?
    How about if i take that phone to india will it work on indian GSM network?

    Thanks!

    • Shadowelite0523 says

      Nov 15, 2017 at 5:23 am

      In my experience, Sprint locks down their phones for anything stateside so it would only work for Sprint and possibly carriers that run on Sprints network. It will not work for any other stateside carriers. Overseas carriers should work fine though.

      Jun 17, 2018 at 6:40 am

      An unlocked Japan version is the true global phone aside from Japanese signals the phone is capable of model A1865 signals. the only downside is the shutter sound but you can use a third party app to mute the shutter sound if you like…

  20. Want300 says

    Oct 23, 2017 at 9:58 am

    I’m on AT&T, I have no plans to switch. My parents Verizon account is in my name, so I can easily order the A1865 via that account.

    Is there a reason I shouldn’t order the A1865 model from Verizon? I plan on paying full price anyway. Or should I get the AT&T version A1901?

    • Shadowelite0523 says

      Nov 15, 2017 at 5:25 am

      The Verizon model has more compatibility and is unlocked out of the box. I can’t confirm, but last I checked, the AT&T and T-Mobile models are not unlocked out of the box. It may be different paying full price, however you still wont get the bands that the Verizon models have.

    Just ordered 3 x iPhone X T-Mobile version on apple.com and the 256 Silver (A1901) reflects part number MQAV2LL/A. The 64GB Space Gray and 256GB Space Gray match 100%.

    If i were to buy an off contract Verizon Iphone x to be used in India, would i need to initially activate it on Verizon? Or could i just pop in my Indian sim and use it?

    • Shadowelite0523 says

      Nov 15, 2017 at 5:27 am

      I dont believe you do, however i’d say keep a Verizon sim card on you. Its better to be safe than sorry.

    Oct 28, 2017 at 5:22 pm

    Ive bought the T mobile IPhone x so the A1901 GSM version. In the USA as it’s cheaper. When I take it back to the United Kingdom will it work with my gif gaff carrier? They use the same network as O2

    • Shadowelite0523 says

      Nov 15, 2017 at 5:28 am

      It should work. Check with the carrier and ensure its main band (or at least one of their bands) is included in the list above.

    guys relax, the at&t version of the iphone x will work with 99% of all cell networks on earth. cdma is a tech that is dying and verizon is phasing it out. don’t worry about the different versions. trust me if you live outside of the US the 99.9% of the networks work with the at&t/t mobile version. if you travel to the US then you have to use at&t or t mobile only. so for everyone from colombia, india, germany, colombia etc relax the regular A1901 model will work perfectly fine 100%.

    have a look and see if your network is listed here…. if it isnt then don’t stress trying to find a verizon version, just buy the A1901!

    None of the part numbers here match those you can buy in Germany (see this screenshot of my shopping cart in the Apple online store: imgur.com/a/lM2hu).

    The part numbers here are:

    64GB Space Gray: MQAC2ZD/A
    256GB Space Gray: MQAF2ZD/A
    64GB Silver: MQAD2ZD/A
    256GB Silver: MQAG2ZD/A

    Just letting you know.

    I’ve purchased the Verizon variant of the iPhone X in the US but I’d like to use it in Europe on GSM networks. And since the internals will allow for this, I think I’m good. However, in the craziness of the launch time, I bought two… one through Apple and one through Verizon–both full price. How can I tell if they are the same unlocked models? Even though the one through Verizon should be unlocked, how can I tell for sure? I guess when I get them both I can compare the model numbers on the back of the box.

    Hey, I purchased yesterday the IPhone X A1865 sprint unlock from apple store in NY,

    My question is if the A1865 sprint is the same like A1865 from version, and the must important it will work in Israel (everybody recommended on the T mobile version for Europe)

    Thanks for the information !

      Dec 3, 2017 at 9:14 am

      I also brought the sprint version A1865 from Apple. I inserted T-Mobile and AT&T SIM cards and they both work. I am assuming both Verizon and Sprint A1865 models are unlocked to use any carriers.

    I just bought an iphone x sprint version in the US. I activated it @ the apple store with my sim card from a Chinese carrier successfully. It works well with the Chinese sim card in the US.
    My question is whether it will work if I bring it back to China – no sales person knows the answer…
    Does anyone know?

    I have some questions would like to ask all of you who know this
    I would like to buy the iphoneX 256 space grey model a1865 because I have plan to visit at others country so I think this model is prefer for me.
    But my question is
    1). Can I buy a1865 model is unlocked sim at the US apple store?
    2). What’s about the warranty? Now, I’m living in Thailand then they sale just only a1901 model that I don’t want to buy. So, if I have some problems can I claim my iphone in Thailand or not? or I have to go back to US for claming my iphone? I have some news about this then they said” cannot claim a1865 model in Thailand because they sale only a1901 model” but the news is quite not sure.

    Thank you
