Features are locked to the region the phone was designed for so nothing software will work.

So theoretically importing a European iPhone can unlock features?

Otherwise a European traveler would suddenly have his apps stop working outside EU

Unless it checks the SIM. If you start up a European iPhone and pop in a Verizon SIM it's a bit odd.

Yes. The region the iphone ins manufactured for determines it's features it gets.
