iPhone 14 Could Switch to eSIM Completely as Technology Adoption Picks up Pace
In the United States, carriers are planning to embark on a cardless future. The Wall Street Journal stated that Apple stopped including a physical SIM card in the box with the launch of the iPhone 13. Moreover, some Android smartphone manufacturers decided to let go of the physical SIMs altogether. While Apple will not make physical SIM cards redundant for existing users, the company could potentially introduce an eSIM model for the iPhone 14. This will not only give time to network carriers to prepare for the transitional jump but also retain existing users who prefer a physical SIM card. Network carriers will possibly be given an option to sell eSIM iPhone 14 variant with a dual-SIM variant featuring eSIM/physical SIM support. Initially, Apple made room for eSIM technology with the launch of the iPhone XS. Currently, iPhone 13 models ship with the ability to set two eSIM cards at the same time, allowing you to run two lines without a physical SIM. “To that end, we believe telecom companies will be given the choice of whether to stock and sell a new eSIM-only iPhone variation alongside more cellular business-friendly dual eSIM/physical SIM support models.” We will share more details on the iPhone 14 and eSIM cards as soon as further details are available.
