BlogDoiPhone recently claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro model will not have a SIM slot. According to information provided to MacRumors by an anonymous tipster, Apple will remove the SIM slot in the iPhone 14 series.
eSIM, which offers the possibility of use without the need for a physical SIM slot, first appeared in 2010. The eSIM technology, the first version of which was introduced in March 2016, has been offered to users since the iPhone XS series produced by Apple in 2018.
The claim that the iPhone 14 family will only have eSIM feature
iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models have the possibility to use two different SIMs, thanks to both physical SIM and eSIM support. Apple will allegedly continue to offer two SIMs, replacing physical SIM technology with eSIM.
Mobile operators serving in our country announced eSIM services towards the end of 2020. Although eSIM technology is not widely used, it will quickly become widespread with Apple’s move.
Sharing a document about eSIM, the tipster claims that some mobile operators in the US market will only sell iPhone 13 with eSIM in 2022. However, the shared document does not include the words iPhone and Apple.
More than 100 mobile operators around the world continue to work on the development and dissemination of eSIM technology. Stating that some countries still do not have eSIM technology, analysts underlined that if the claims are true, Apple should also produce a version with a SIM card slot.
Jony Ive, Apple’s former head of design, announced that he imagined iPhone models as a solid sheet of glass. The company, which started by removing the headphone jack, is slowly approaching the iPhone design that Ive imagined. It is worth remembering that some tipsters claim that the new iPhone models will not have a Lightning port.
