Is the American iPhone 14 certain that the era of using eSIM electronic mobile phone cards is coming?
Some time ago, it was reported that Apple had been discussing the removal of the SIM card slot and the use of eSIM to save the internal space of the mobile phone. At that time, it was only said that it might be popularized by the launch of the iPhone 15 next year. But at the Apple press conference this morning, Apple officially announced that the US version of the iPhone 14 series models would completely eliminate the physical sim card and only support the opening of the eSIM card. What is the specific situation? Next, let's make a detailed introduction for you!
Is the era coming when the American iPhone 14 will use the Esim electronic mobile phone card
Today, at the launch of the iPhone 14 series, Apple announced that the American version of the iPhone 14 series will no longer reserve a SIM card slot, which is the first time in iPhone history.
This time, the US version of the iPhone 14 series supports eSIM, which is called "embedded mobile phone card" in Chinese. The chip is directly integrated into the motherboard. No physical SIM card is required. You can access the Internet after opening the package. At present, the eSIM card is mainly used in smart watches. Because the internal space of smart watches is very small, the eSIM card is selected for calling and surfing the Internet.
On smart phones, many manufacturers have supported eSIM, such as the iPhone 13 series. On the iPhone 13 series, Apple supports eSIM while retaining the physical SIM card slot.
Now Apple's iPhone 14 series completely eliminates the physical SIM card slot, and only supports eSIM card opening.
Apple cancels the physical SIM card, on the one hand, to save the internal space of the phone, and on the other hand, to prepare for the future non porous phones in advance.
Of course, Apple will not kill the physical SIM card slot on all versions. At the press conference, Apple especially emphasized that the U.S. version has cancelled the SIM card slot, which means that the Bank of China version will retain the physical SIM card. Considering the dual card demand of Chinese users, Apple's iPhone 14 series Bank of China version will support dual cards.
It is worth noting that this time, the iPhone 14 series has added a Plus version, with a screen size of 6.7 inches. At the same time, the mini version has been canceled. The standard version is still 6.1 inch screen, which remains unchanged.
The above is the introduction about the use of eSIM cards for iPhone 14 series models. The U.S. version of the model will completely give up physical cards, while the Bank of China will continue to support the sim card slot with dual cards and dual standby, which basically means that you can say goodbye to the relatively cheap U.S. version of the gray model. After all, there is no way to use eSIM cards in China, Therefore, those who want to buy the iPhone 14 series models launched this time can consider to start with the version of the Bank of China!
