The BlogDoiPhone website reports that insider sources say the iPhone 15 Pro, which will be released in 2023, will completely remove the SIM card slot. This means that the iPhone 15 Pro will be fully eSIM digital SIM.
Over the past few years, iPhones and iPads are migrating to eSIM technology, and the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro support dual eSIM cards, allowing the use of two eSIM at the same time. Of course, there are still physical SIM slots on current iPhones.
The report said that the iPhone 15 Pro series models released in 2023 will have two eSIMms, ensuring that dual SIM capability is still available. Dual SIM mode allows you to have two service networks on one iPhone, which is great for purchasing a data-only plan when traveling abroad or having personal and business networks on one iPhone.
Given that the iPhone 15 Pro series models are two years away from release, the rumor should be approached with some skepticism until it is confirmed by other sources.
If this rumor proves to be accurate, iPhone 15 Pro series models may still need to be equipped with a physical SIM card slot in countries and regions where eSIM is not available. Removing the SIM card slot can further improve water resistance.
In addition, there are rumors that Apple is developing an interfaceless iPhone, which means that the future iPhone has neither an interface nor a SIM card slot, another step towards a truly seamless design, and the integration is more thorough. Of course, the full eSIM iPhone may only be launched in some countries and markets, depending on how the operator responds.
