I tried to get service for my US iPhone 6S+ here in Tokyo. The
  delightful woman helping me warned me, "You know, if you swap this out
  you will get a Japan phone with the shutter sound. Are you sure?"

  Oh. No. Not sure, and not by a long shot.

  I recalled my first US trip with my JP colleagues where their shutter
  sound constantly disrupted slide presentation after slide presentation.
  I volunteered my phone for hundreds of silent slide pictures of decks
  later offered for download.

  When I returned to Japan I found the sound ever present. I assumed the
  shutter sound a cultural choice, what with the Japanese camera
  stereotype and all. I filled it away as an annoyance like on-line
  banking and moved on.

  I embrace my education. As I stated regularly on the PVC Security
  podcast, there is a certain freedom in knowing you will screw up at
  least ten times per day.

  It also means I will try to get all my future mobile phones in the US
  (assuming the shutter sound is my major concern).
