Next September, Apple should, barring a major cataclysm, present the next iPhone, under the name iPhone 14. As usual, Apple is trying to preserve as much secrecy as possible around this phone, but rumors are already rife just under 9 months now until the release of the phone.
While the question had only been little addressed in recent years with regard to the iPhone, the possibility of seeing an e SIM arriving in 2022 on the Cupertino company's phones is becoming more and more apparent. Indeed, according to the latest report from Emma Mohr-McClune, analyst for GlobalData, the Apple brand is on the verge of making this change.
A physical SIM card still relevant?
For the moment, Apple phones are entitled to a physical insert for SIM cards. On the latest iPhones, this is placed at the bottom left of the phone. But according to numerous sources in recent weeks, this location is under threat.
Indeed, physical SIM cards seem to be on the verge of disappearing whilemany smartphone brands now offer e-SIM slots, that is to say virtual cards. For manufacturers this is a really good solution, it frees up a lot of space in the phone.
But according to the latest report from GlobalData, the iPhone 14 is not expected to be the game-changing phone. Indeed, if the e-SIM should indeed be present on the Apple phone, the latter will only be optional and the insert for a physical card should always be there on the next generation of smartphone from Cupertino.
Dylandkt does not agree
For his part, the controversial analyst Dylandkt, who mainly works on Twitter, said he was in total agreement with the recent rumorswho see physical SIM cards disappear on the next iPhones. Two visions of the Apple phone which contradict each other and which should find their answer next September during the presentation of the iPhone 14 by Tim Cook and his teams.
