"Apple announced its new thin iPhone 17 Air on Tuesday at its annual hardware event. The company said that this device will have only eSIM support all across the world. Apple managed to cram a lot of tech into a 5.5mm thick design, but at the expense of a physical SIM tray. The company opted to ditch physical SIMs for ePhones sold in the U.S. in 2022."
""We pioneered eSIM years ago, and now it's an industry standard, and compared to that, decades-old piece of plastic, eSIM is so much easier to use, has better security, and saves precious space inside the iPhone. Esim is also great for travel," Apple said during the keynote."
Apple announced the iPhone 17 Air, a 5.5mm-thick handset that uses eSIM-only support worldwide. The design eliminated the physical SIM tray to fit advanced components into the slimmer chassis. Apple previously removed physical SIMs from ePhones sold in the U.S. in 2022. The company emphasized eSIM advantages including easier setup, stronger security, and internal space savings that enable thinner devices. Apple also noted eSIM convenience for travel. The shift to eSIM removes the decades-old physical SIM card form factor and standardizes digital SIM provisioning across global iPhone 17 Air units.
