Apple iPhone 14 series could include models with eSIM-only support. In India, Airtel, Jio, and Vi offer eSIM support. Apple’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series have been making headlines for a while now. A new report about the iPhone 14 series has pooped up, suggesting the series might include eSIM-only models ( via iMore). Emma Mohr-McClune, a Technology Service Director at GlobalData, stated that Apple had asked the majority of US carriers to prepare for only eSIM iPhone launch this year. The analyst also believes that users will still have a choice between a physical SIM tray variant and an eSIM-only option. Apple will not immediately transition to the eSIM-only approach and would keep it as an option for now, as per the analyst. “We don’t believe that Apple will take the ‘big bang’ approach—getting rid of existing systems and transferring all users to eSIMs—but rather launch an eSIM-only variant of its upcoming new model—retaining the dual eSIM-plus-physical SIM slot model for the mass market and its key carrier channel,” the analyst stated in the report.
