According to a rough rumor shared by the Brazilian website Blog do iPhone, some Apple iPhone 15 Pro models sold in the market may not provide a physical SIM card slot. Although previous iPhone models have included a physical nano-SIM card slot and an eSIM soft card support (some markets such as mainland China also provide a dual SIM card version), the latest report states that the iPhone 15 Pro model is expected to be released in 2023 Only two eSIMs will be provided, which can ensure that the dual SIM function is still available while enhancing the waterproof function of the fuselage.
The dual SIM card mode allows users to have two service lines on an iPhone, which is very useful for buying a pure data plan when traveling abroad or having personal and business lines on an iPhone. Given that the iPhone 15 Pro model is still two years away from its release, this rumor should be treated with some skepticism until it is confirmed by other sources. This Brazilian blog is not a mature source of rumors when it comes to providing news about the iPhone.
Of course, even if the rumors are true, in countries where eSIM services are not provided, iPhone 15 Pro models will definitely have a physical SIM card slot. We mentioned earlier that removing the SIM card slot can further improve water resistance. It is rumored that Apple will release products without Lightning connection ports in the future, and the absence of a SIM card slot will be another step towards a truly seamless design.
