If I buy in the US and use it in the EU – will the Apple Intelligence work?

I would be happy to sacrifice the EU keyboard and have the AI instead :-)

Unless they’re now doing iPhone-level parts locking, getting the right keyboard would be an eBay purchase away.

Of course they are doing that. The fingerprint sensor is paired IIRC.
