The A1921 is the only unlocked iPhone XS Max for the US and is the version Apple offers as their “SIM-free†model for AppleCare replacement devices. A1921 is fully compatible with all wireless carriers in the US — working on both GSM and CDMA networks — and is the preferred model for anyone living in the states.

Additionally, are all iPhones dual band? All of the iPhones will work on bands like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, which are the ones most carriers in the world use to establish basic LTE coverage. All of them, as far as we know right now, will make both GSM and CDMA voice calls. (I think A2097 and A2101 might not support CDMA, but I have no proof of this.)
