Can we use an iPhone X from the US in India?
You should probably buy one sold in India.The carriers the iPhone X will work with in India are:AirtelReliance JioVodafoneIf one of those isn’t an option for you, then the iPhone X is not an option for you.The reason you should buy one sold specifically for the India market, rather than one sold for the U.S. market is somewhat complicated.International iPhones are clocked down to avoid sitting on a resident harmonic of the cellular frequencies in common use in various countries.This is set as part of activation in the country in question, as opposed to “magically” happening as a result of GPS data — which is actually how you’d probably want it to happen, if you were an engineer, if you couldn’t have it decide based on determining the carrier frequency by commcenter talking to the cellular modem, which is how a real engineer would do it.It’s not how Apple did it, though.Historically, this goes back to the Orange cellular network in the UK, where certain frequencies were used for the Cells that were located in the train tunnels, and which were “off” relative to the above ground frequencies.As a result, there were a bunch of calls dropped when the cell handoff between the above-ground vs. the below-ground networks.Basically, calls were dropped coming into or out of tunnels, because the clock frequency of the CPU was at a harmonic of the cellular frequency.You risk that happening when you have a grey-market iPhone that you buy in one country, and use in another.Yes, the commcenter fix would be the best approach; eventually Apple might do that fix. Assuming they were interested in enabling grey market imports to other countries of U.S. Market iPhones.Which I’m pretty sure they aren’t interested in enabling.So if you are trying to avoid the India import duty of 10%, and the GST of 28%, and the landing charge of 1%… sure, you’ll probably avoid those.But your phone might suck as a result.
What if I purchase an iPhone from abroad and use in my country?
Let me keep this answer dead simplePros-Cheap price (you will get the iPhone in USA for about 10,000–15,000 INR cheaper.Cons-You will not be covered under warranty for iPhones’ warranty is restricted to its country of purchase.You will be getting the standard US charger, not the indian unit. There would be no difference in power output but you would have to purchase a converter or an indian power adapter (which retails for about 1500INR).That’s it. Personally, I believe it is a pretty decent deal to get it from the United States. No iPhone dies randomly on its own unless it is damaged physically or due to liquids, and apple warranty does not cover liquid or physical damage.P.S. If you are getting the carrier unlocked version then you will NOT face any issue regarding networks, sims, et cetera.Now, regarding the models. Please do not get the carrier locked ones. You can go for any other model (either GSM or CDMA) .

Is warranty applicable to IPhones purchased from online stores in India?
Yes standard warranty is applicable for iPhones sold through ecommerce sites but make sure the phone which you are buying is a fresh one.Most of the online websites sell refurbished iPhones which are actually meant for third world countries but somehow end up in the Indian market again.
Can I order an iPhone from USA, and unlock it in India?
Possibly. But that is probably risky.You can buy a factory unlocked iPhone from the United States— one that is already unlocked— and begin using it in India freely on any carrier there. That would be the easiest and safest route, so you don't have to deal with being stuck with a locked phone if you get a locked phone from the U.S., and you're unable to unlock it. Anyways, for you, the price wouldn't be different for a locked or unlocked iPhone here— as you would be paying full retail price anyways, and you cannot get a contract/financing deal and then abandon it hoping you can unlock your iPhone.
