Will the latest iPhone kill off the Sim card?
Apple's latest iPhone Air model is set to ditch traditional Sim cards in favor of eSims, marking a shift in smartphone technology. While the new iPhone Air will only support eSims, other iPhone models and brands like Samsung and Google still offer traditional Sim card slots in most markets. Industry experts predict a steady shift towards eSims, with forecasts suggesting a substantial increase in their usage by 2030. Expectations are that Sim card trays may eventually disappear altogether as eSim technology becomes more prevalent.
