Leaker Agrees Apple Will Remove Physical SIM Card Tray on iPhone But No Sure on the Model
As mentioned earlier, Apple could be planning to remove the SIM card slot on some iPhone 14 models next year. What this means is that the iPhone 14 models could potentially feature one less port. It was also stated previously that Apple contacted major US carriers to make use of eSIM instead of physical nano cards. However, the complete transition could take some time. It was also reported that Apple could bring the change forward sooner rather than later. It was initially rumored that the physical SIM card slot will be removed in 2023 with the launch of the iPhone 15.
