Apple
Apple is often the first to try some new features and designs on the iPhone, such as this year’s iPhone 14 Pro I tried to punch the pill-shaped hole formed by the front lens and the Face ID sensor into the interface and become part of the “Dynamic Island”. But at the same time, Apple is also very “brave”, and has the courage to take the lead in removing features that no one thinks is bad – the “trend” led by Apple in the past was the first to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack and the first to not attach a transformer randomly. Wait, and now to add one more thing: Be the first to remove the physical SIM card slot.
This is bound to cause some inconveniences in the initial stage. For example, you cannot simply withdraw the SIM card and use it immediately following switching to another mobile phone. Instead, you have to call the telecom provider or complete certain procedures online before you can use the SIM card. number transfer. In addition, for those who often go abroad, you can’t just buy a local SIM card and insert it into your mobile phone and use it. It is also extra trouble to find a local eSIM option or an eSIM that provides roaming.
Apple has supported eSIM since the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR in 2018. During this period, it has gradually gained the support of the three major telecom operators in the United States, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, and has been able to completely abandon the physical SIM card. For users in other markets, this should not have much impact, just be careful not to buy the US version of the iPhone 14.
