What's the difference between the American version of Apple and the Bank of China? What is the difference?

The biggest difference between the two versions is that the Hong Kong version and the US version are cheaper than the licensed products due to different local taxes and fees. However, if you buy the Hong Kong/US version in Chinese mainland, you may not be able to enjoy the warranty service of licensed products.

Take the iPhone8 as an example. Generally speaking, the Hong Kong version is unlocked, and the Hong Kong version can be guaranteed in the Mainland (some versions are not guaranteed), which is why the price of the Hong Kong version of iPhone8 is slightly more expensive than that of the non-Hong Kong version.

Chinese characters and 3C certification mark are printed on the back of the National Bank version of iPhone. 3C is a compulsory product certification system stipulated by China government according to relevant agreements and rules of WTO.

For example, the non-bank version of the iPhone will be printed with different voices and certification bodies in different regions on the back.
