its the same if the iPhone you're buying in USA is the unlocked version. also ensure the version you're buying is met to be used in a LTE band-3 network.

I have a problem that If i buy an Iphone from USA is there a difference between buying an Iphone from SRILANKA or Asian countries. If yes please can you explain what is the difference. I mean not the price. Any performance or hardware changes ?
And also which option is good
1.Buying iphone from USA or
2.Buying iphone from SL ?

Sri Lanka mobile networks use the following bands

GSM (2G) - 900 and 1800 MHz band
3G (UMTS) - 2100 MHz Band - UMTS Band 1
LTE (4G) - 1800 MHz Band - Band 3


To use above services in SL the phone should support these bands. The specifications of phone would indicate that.

USA does not use the above frequency bands. Most new phones support multiple bands of different countries, it is better to check the specs.

Entering the exact phone model no in following webpage would help to see if it will work in SL

as long as it's factory unlocked (SIM-FREE) international version, you won't have any issues. 
but as far as i can see, it's cheaper here.
