The physical SIM slot is going to disappear from the new iPhone soon. Apple is selling iPhones without SIM slots in many other countries including America and now the same is going to happen in Europe too. There are speculations that iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will be launched in Europe without physical SIM support. Double eSIM support can be provided in these. Let us tell you that since the time of iPhone 14, Apple has been launching only iPhones with eSIM support in America. Now even in Mexico and Japan, physical SIM slots in iPhones have stopped being available.
Apple’s preparations have been going on for a long time
Apple has been preparing to launch only eSIM iPhones in Europe for a long time. There were speculations that it could debut with the iPhone 17 model, but Apple only launched the iPhone Air with eSIM support globally. This beginning was also not perfect for Apple. However, eSIM is not easily available in China, due to which its launch was delayed there and sales were also affected.
Users may have to face problems
Even though Apple is preparing to remove physical SIM support in Europe, users may face problems due to this. Actually, many companies in Europe charge extra money for eSIM, while there are some which do not offer prepaid plans on eSIM. This can cause problems to travelers and many other people.
What will be the benefit of removing the SIM slot?
Removing the physical SIM slot will give Apple a little more space inside the iPhone, which can be used to expand the battery. Apple can offer its largest battery ever of 5,200 mAh in the iPhone 18 Pro Max. In such a situation, he needs a lot of space. By removing physical SIM support, it will get this space.
