The newest iPhones from Apple have a tonne of new features, including a cool display cutout on the iPhone 14 Pro that Apple is dubbing the Dynamic Island. The physical SIM slot is the feature that Apple is deleting this time around, as is so frequently the case with the firm. The corporation is investing heavily in eSIM technologies for US models.

If you opt to upgrade, that choice will really have a few implications for how you use the iPhone 14. You won’t be able to just transfer the SIM card from your old phone to your new one, for one thing. Instead, you’ll need to enrol online or over the phone with your provider. To reduce the expense of data roaming, many travellers opt to purchase local SIM cards. If you purchase an iPhone 14 in the US, that won’t be an option. Thank goodness, there are several eSIM choices, like Airalo.

Since the release of the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR in 2018, Apple has embraced eSIM and has included the technology into the majority of its most recent Apple Watch and iPad models. The company even started allowing users to simultaneously utilise multiple eSIMs on the same smartphone with the release of the iPhone 13 last year. The majority of US carriers support the technology, which is fantastic news. Even more recently, T-Mobile started using eSIM to let iPhone users test out its network.
