OUR Apple just announced the iPhone 14 and its variants, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. – and devices sold in the US will have a novelty: no physical SIM cards, only eSIM.

Not today, Apple has expressed a desire to bring this option to life. Over the past two years, several rumors have indicated that Apple will take this step in its devices at some point, and apparently the time has come.

Models outside the US will still have the chip.

Eliminating SIM entry on iPhone 14s that will be sold in the US is the first step towards permanently phasing out this type of device. However, models sold outside of the US will still have a physical SIM slot as this technology is not available in other regions.

In Europe and Asia, the use of eSIM is gaining support, and the trend is that more operators and smartphone manufacturers will switch to this practice over the next few months. In Brazil, the use of eSIM is already possible on devices such as smartwatches, and so we should expect this to become a trend here as well with the advent of 5G.

Also, according to Apple, the use of eSIM provides greater security for consumers, since if the device is lost or stolen, the chip is not compromised. In this case, the user just needs to contact the operator and request a blocking.

Thieves with stolen iPhones, for example, will not be able to use a device with physical SIM cards or even later enabled, because a stolen or lost device can be locked for this purpose. Thus, the possibility of theft becomes less attractive, which, as expected, may help reduce the number of device thefts.
