In the past, Apple used the suffix “AE/A” in iPhone part numbers as a country code for regions like Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Recently, with the launch of the iPhone 16, Apple has been selling the “AE/A” iPhone models in Kuwait, Iraq, and the UAE. Keep in mind that Apple often changes which countries use specific suffixes with each new iPhone release. So, the country of origin for an “AE/A” iPhone depends on the iPhone model, whether it’s an iPhone X, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and so on.
