The iPhone 14’s announcement is a few days away, and new similarities are emerging regarding upcoming smartphones. Insider and editor of XDA Developers Max Weinbach (Max Weinbach) news source said that some versions of smartphones will not receive physical SIM cards.

According to him, we are talking about “operator” models, and so far only in the USA. When purchasing, carriers no longer put the card in a box when offering an eSIM. At the same time, the physical card slot remains, but must be purchased separately.

Regardless, the iPhone’s SIM tray days seem to be numbered. It is possible for the Apple company to push users to virtual cards in this way. That said, the iPhone has had eSIM support for a few years now, and there were earlier rumors that the iPhone 15 might lose its physical card tray and wired charging connector.

It should be noted that the use of eSIM will allow you to use several numbers on one phone, while you will not have to constantly replace cards in the tray. On the other hand, many users are afraid that telecommunication operators will give more access to the phone. Jerlo
