Apple Could Bring eSIM Variants Of iPhone 15 Series To More Countries In 2023

The iPhone 15 series with an eSIM-only variant could reach more countries when it launches in 2023, according to a new report. Apple introduced the first-of-its-kind eSIM iPhone 14 model in the US last year, which means you don’t have any physical SIM slot on the device.

And this week’s report hints that Apple will expand support for eSIM-only iPhones to countries like France and some other parts of Europe this year with the iPhone 15 series. It is unlikely that Apple will launch this variant in Asian markets, where eSIM penetration is still low. eSIM has been around for a while and the first iPhones to get eSIM support (dual connectivity) were the iPhone X and Xr.

Slowly, we have seen the likes of Samsung and Google introduce eSIM technology in their premium devices for consumers in all markets. eSIM basically gives you a digital SIM registration for another mobile number, and telcos are trying their best to simplify the process of getting an eSIM. The adoption of eSIM is negligible in countries like India and we are seeing the technology somehow making its way to mid-range devices.

Coming to the iPhone 15 series, Apple is likely to launch it on its usual timeline of September this year. The company is rumored to have four variants, including the vanilla model, Plus, Pro and Pro Max. Some reports have also said that Pro Max could be called Ultra but we don’t see that happening. It is also said that all iPhone 15 models will have the dynamic island notch, however, the Pro variant will still feature the ProMotion high-res refresh rate screen.

Apple is also expected to bring USB C for charging to the iPhone 15 series, as the company is being forced to by changing regulations in Europe and other markets. Apple has already confirmed the dates for the WWDC 2023 conference which will begin on June 5 and will also be an online event this year.
