iPhone 16 will launch in the US without a SIM card slot. This is because Apple opted for eSIM-only iPhone 15 models for the US market last year, ditching the SIM card slot.
Now, while Apple will continue with eSIM-only iPhone 16 models in the US, will the Cupertino-based tech giant do so for the entire world?
Well, the new iPad 2024 range launch has sparked a new speculation.Apple unveiled its latest offerings on Tuesday, introducing the new iPad Air and iPad Pro.
An intriguing detail about both devices caught the eye: their Cellular versions exclusively support eSIM, eliminating the need for a traditional SIM card tray.
This shift signifies a potential broader adoption of eSIM technology, possibly extending beyond the confines of the United States where eSIM-only iPhones are currently available.The latest iPad models, the M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro, confirm this trend by eschewing physical SIM card compatibility in their Cellular versions.
