This movement to get rid of the “door and drawer” for the communication card, the SIM card, started last year with the removal of this physical part from iPhones sold in the US. In Portugal, although we can now buy and install several eSIMs (for a few years) on devices, Apple has not removed this possibility yet. However, the Cupertino company removed the SIM slot from the new iPad Pro and Air. mark for the new global iPhone 16?
eSIM on all Apple devices?
The introduction note may actually make sense. Markets evolve, but operators have already had time to change and new Apple devices from 2024 may no longer feature the "old" SIM slot.
Yesterday, during your "Let Loose" eventApple announced the new models iPad Pro e iPad Airincludes significant changes compared to previous versions, although they did not identify those "details" that may be neglected!
One of the most important differences is related to the position disappearing the physical slot for the SIM card. In previous cellular models of the iPad Air and Pro, there was a slot for physical SIM cards. Now on new devices, this apartment has been completely removed. In fact, all Cellular models are completely dependent on eSIM technology.
This may seem like a small detail, but it's critical for anyone thinking about upgrading their iPad while keeping their cell phone data plan.
Apple has not yet given an official reason for removing the SIM slot, but it could be a design choice to make devices thinner and lighter, or something necessary by integrating components new hardware that would affect the thickness of the new iPads.
Anyway, this change will bring the latest iPads in line with the recent iPhones, which they abandoned the SIM slot in 2022 when the iPhone 14 was launched (In the US). Adopting an eSIM could have several benefits, such as greater resistance to water and dust.
