New information from iGeneration realize that Apple would be considering expanding the removal of the traditional SIM card tray from iPhones to France. According to sources heard by the vehicle, the company’s idea is to put this plan into practice with the coming line “iPhone 15”.
Apple started selling iPhones with support only for so-called eSIM last year, with the arrival of the iPhone 14/14 Pro line — a change that remained exclusive in the United States. The company, it is worth remembering, has been expanding the use of digital chips since 2018, with the iPhones XR, XS and XS Max.
As noted by MacRumors, if this rumor is correct, it is very likely that we will see Apple launch devices without the tray in more countries in Europe, since the company usually sells the same iPhone models in several regions of the Old Continent. the version A2890 of the iPhone 14 Pro, for example, is sold not only in France but also in PortugalSpain, Italy, Germany, among others.
Last September, a few days following the launch of the iPhone 14 line, Apple put up a support page that highlights the many benefits of the eSIM, such as its greater security — since it cannot be removed if the iPhone is lost or lost. stolen. In addition, since the iPhone 13 line, Apple allows the use of up to two electronic chips at the same time — a feature called Dual eSIM.
As much as electronic chips are, in fact, safer and more practical than traditional physical chips, it is likely that Apple is betting on technology to free up space for other components inside iPhones (among other reasons), such as the battery. The absence of the traditional tray should also help to increase the devices’ resistance to water.
These benefits, it is worth noting, can also be used to justify the replacement of the current physical side buttons on the iPhone for buttons with haptic feedback, a change that has also been speculated for the “iPhone 15” line.
