iPhone 17 Pro: Apple, Küresel eSIM Stratejisine Hızla Geçmeyi Planlamıyor

Some regions will continue to have physical SIM card trays

According to the source Majin Bu that shared the leak, the images indicate that the iPhone 17 Pro, as a top-tier flagship model, will maintain the physical SIM experience familiar to users in certain markets. Apple seems to still be unprepared for a comprehensive rollout of SIM-less products, indicating a cautious and measured approach to transitioning to eSIM across different markets.

A report published last year suggested that Apple was considering expanding its eSIM-only approach to more countries. The report specifically mentioned that the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air could be sold without a SIM card tray in selected regions, though it was unclear which countries would implement this. The latest Pro leak suggests that Apple is adapting with different models to various markets and is proceeding with the transition gradually.

While the physical SIM tray may seem like a minor detail for users, it offers significant insights into Apple’s global strategy. Maintaining a physical SIM option, especially in countries where eSIM adoption is still low, ensures a secure user experience with the Pro model. This way, Apple promotes digital transformation while also acknowledging user habits.
