At the launch event, Kaiann Drance, Apple’s Vice President of Marketing, said that the US version of the iPhone 14 series will no longer have a SIM card slot and users will only be able to use eSIM (embedded cell phone card). eSIM is a concept that has not yet been popularized in China, however, so many Malaysian fruit fans are getting nervous if the iPhone 14 series can really only use eSIM. If the iPhone 14 series can only use eSIM, what should we do?
eSIM is actually an embedded SIM card, known as Embedded-SIM, which disguises a pluggable physical SIM card as a virtual SIM card, embedded directly into the device chip, providing proof of identity for each terminal device before the phone can access the carrier’s network. Apple’s use of eSIM in the U.S. version of the iPhone 14 series is believed to further save space inside the iPhone in the future, freeing up space for other components like the processor and battery, and upgrading the phone’s other capabilities.
Even so, if eSIM users want to change their cell phone number, the whole process is actually quite troublesome, and it is reported that they need to go to a business office or use another cell phone to scan the code and other operations to change.
It is worth mentioning that Apple applied for eSIM-related patents as early as 2011, and with the launch of the iPhone XR and XS in 2018, Apple had the action of introducing eSIM into the iPhone. And now Apple finally added support for Bluetooth transmission eSIM between iPhones on iOS 16.
At this time, iPhone fans who want to get their hands on the iPhone 14 series must be very nervous, but after the editorial room check, the upcoming iPhone 14 series still retains the SIM card slot, users can continue to use the physical SIM card, and at the same time, fruit fans who want to walk in the vanguard of technology can also check whether Maxis, Celcom and other telecommunications stations support eSIM, so they can feel the first! A new experience!
