Information, Apple has removed the SIM card slot on their cell phones since launching the iPhone 14 series in the US in September 2022.
Because they no longer use a physical SIM card, users are forced to use an eSIM to activate cellular packages without having to use a physical nano-SIM card.
When the iPhone 14 launched in the US, Apple said the eSIM was more secure than a physical SIM because it couldn’t be removed from a lost or stolen iPhone.
Apple added that the iPhone already supports up to eight eSIMs in one cellphone so there is no need to get, carry and exchange physical SIM cards when traveling.
With eSIM availability expanding rapidly, the removal of the SIM card slot outside the US seems inevitable. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 series in September as usual.
