The iPhone 15 will likely lack a physical SIM card slot in several countries

Apple began removing the physical SIM card slot from iPhones in a limited fashion last year, and apparently wants to expand that trend for the next generation. In this regard, it is said that the iPhone 15 family will lack this port in France and several European countries, so in these countries, Apple’s future phones will only support eSIM.

If Apple decides to Removal of the physical SIM port in France probably, there will be no news of this port in several other European countries. Apple usually sells an iPhone model in European countries. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro model A2890, which is sold in France, is also sold in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and several other countries.

Removal of SIM card port from iPhone 15 in European markets

With the introduction of the iPhone 14 series, Apple decided to remove the SIM card port in the United States, and users in this country only have access to the eSIM or digital SIM card. Now apparently users in more countries should go for eSIM, although not all countries support this technology. Considering this, Apple probably won’t remove the SIM card slot from all iPhone 15 models.

According to Apple, eSIM is more secure than physical SIM card; Because the SIM card cannot be removed if it is lost or stolen. iPhone 14 users can manage up to eight eSIMs through the settings section on their phone, and there is no need to move the physical SIM card when traveling. iPhone 13 and newer models can have two active eSIMs at the same time.

There is a possibility that Apple will completely remove the physical SIM card port from its phones for the iPhone 16 series, of course, due to the ban on the entry of iPhones into our country, users in Iran should not worry about this!
