One of my friend coming from Dubai and ready to bring iPhone 14 Pro @ 4299 aed. Should buy it ? Any problem in India using that phone here? Should he activate there with AED sim first ?
Any guidance is appreciated.thanks.

No, he has pre-booked in apple shop direct, so hopefully it'll be UAE model only.
Guys there is a shop called Eurozone in Bur Dubai who says they will deliver to India. I have personally not tried and I am saying based on what I saw in their video. Try at your own discretion.
They say they will give Google pay number and you pay that number. But you should call Eurozone (regular call not whatsapp etc) and they will tell.
Whatever amount the phone is, add 5% VAT on it and add 150 Dirhams and the conversion in rupees should be done at ₹23 rate.
Based on this decide if you want to buy from them while sitting In India
Looks bit risky to me. I also saw the video but paying upfront such a huge amount and then if something goes wrong then difficult to catch those people. On top of that exchange rate and extra price is very high. Better if you can catch some friend or relative who is coming back in Durga Puja or Diwali.
I bought from Dubai faced no issues.
