Apple Has Been Rumored to Shift Entirely to eSIM, but Chances Are It Will Not Happen With the iPhone 14 Series
In a letter sent to AppleInsider, GlobalData analyst Emma Mohr-McClune states that Apple is expected to bring both the eSIM and physical SIM variations to the iPhone 14 lineup. One of them is expected to use just eSIM, suggesting that future iPhone 14 models may be configured to tout two eSIMs. Looking at this information, it appears as if Apple’s carrier partners will be given a choice to stock up on physical SIM or eSIM variants. However, the analyst cautions these carriers that there may come a time when eSIM-only smartphones become the norm, requiring telecom companies to make necessary changes when it comes to marketing and educating a regular customer on which model they could be upgrading to. It is also worth noting that not all regions have eSIM support enabled, though Apple has provided a list of countries here. According to previous reports, the technology giant plans on launching four iPhone 14 models later this year. This means that storage versions aside, the company could unveil a total of eight models, four of them being eSIM editions, while the remaining allowing physical SIM cards. This may become confusing for a boatload of future customers, so Apple will have to launch necessary documentation shortly after the launch. Which variant do you plan on picking up when the iPhone 14 series officially gets unveiled? Tell us down in the comments. News Source: AppleInsider
