How can i get iphone 6 plus replacement i bought from Korea in Canada?

I bought an iphone 6 plus in South Korea and I moved to Canada.
I noticed my iphone makes shutter sound every time I take a photo which I can't mute. :mad:
So I thought, if I can get replacement from Apple Store with whatever reason, I would get "Canadian" iphone with no shutter sound.

Please share any idea if it is possible, and if so, how?

[QUOTE] As per Japanese rules Phones in Japan do not allow people to mute the shutter sound. It’s the prevention for people from taking Sneak photos.[/QUOTE]

I looked up and the price is hilariously low for a 2 month old iphone 6 plus 64gb...
I would've considered it for $1000, but the offers are like $600~800..
So the only option I would have is Jailbreaking it ey?

Would there be any tips or cheats that I can ask Apple store to replace my iPhone?
some kind of sneaky way to breaking it, maybe?

Wouldn't you just get the same model for replacement?

Don't bother cause
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.

Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

have you tried a Bluetooth headset?
when I use Bluetooth headset and take a picture the shutter sound goes to the Bluetooth
so can't hear it from the phone

Send back phone to friend or relative in South Korea to fix at Apple store. Only way.

[QUOTE]If the product is portable, meaning that it can operate independently without a power cord, you may obtain warranty service worldwide. However, service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested.

You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the product cannot be serviced in the country it is in.[/QUOTE]

But since there isn't anything actually wrong with your phone, I don't think they would replace it.

I don't understand why you can't sell it and buy the same NA version, losing $20-30 top in the process.
