According to Gurman, the SIM card slot can be removed on some iPhone 14 \u2013 is this really the case, it will become clear in a few days.\u00a0However, Gurman does not rule out that the changes may not happen until the iPhone 15 next year.\u00a0It is worth noting that rumors about the possible elimination of the slot for physical SIM-cards have been circulating for more than a year.<\/p>\n
\u201cApple will give eSIM a bigger boost this time around, with carriers gearing up to guide users’ transition to digital, integrated SIMs instead of physical ones.\u00a0In fact, Apple has considered removing the physical SIM slot completely, either starting this year or next for some models,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Gurman said.<\/p>\n eSIM is a digital SIM card that allows you to use communication services without physical SIM cards.\u00a0The use of eSIM is rapidly expanding.\u00a0Support for eSIM allows you to use different tariffs of different operators at the same time and switch between them – this is, for example, convenient when traveling.\u00a0However, the technology is not available in some countries, so it is possible that even several years after the transition to eSIM, Apple will continue to release two types of iPhone.<\/p>\n eSIM first appeared in the iPhone XS.\u00a0Getting rid of the SIM card slot could provide better water resistance for smartphones and possibly free up some space under the device’s cover.\u00a0Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 14 during a special\u00a0event on Wednesday\u00a0.\u00a0In addition to smartphones, the Apple Watch Series 8, the new Apple Watch SE, as well as the Apple Watch Pro and new AirPods Pro headphones are likely to premiere.<\/p>\n Source:<\/strong><\/p>\n
