Apple's new iPad series cancels SIM card slot and fully moves towards the eSIM era

Apple released the new iPad Pro and iPad Air last week. These two high-profile tablets have ushered in major innovations in hardware design. They have completely removed the physical SIM card slot and instead fully support eSIM technology provides users with a more convenient and flexible cellular network connection experience.

As far as the editor understands, this change is no accident. Previous reports have pointed out that the iPad’s full support for eSIM may indicate that the iPhone will soon follow this trend and gradually remove the physical SIM card slot. In fact, starting from the iPhone 14 series, the US version of iPhone has taken the lead in taking this step, only supporting eSIM technology, while iPhones sold in other regions still retain the physical SIM card design. The benefits brought by this change are mainly reflected in the following aspects. First of all, using eSIM technology allows users to switch between different operators more conveniently and flexibly, and is no longer limited by the insertion and removal of physical SIM cards and the number of card slots. Secondly, eSIM has a low card rejection rate, so you no longer need to worry about lost or damaged SIM cards, and it also saves the cost of card production and delivery. In addition, eSIM technology can also bring more flexibility and innovation to mobile phone design, such as supporting dual-sim. Now, with the new iPad series supporting eSIM, the industry generally predicts that the iPhone will be launched in the second half of this year. The 16 series will also fully embrace eSIM technology. This means that future iPhones will no longer need to insert a physical SIM card, and users can easily achieve global network connections by remotely downloading and switching operators and packages.

There are many reasons why manufacturers choose to eliminate physical SIM card slots. Removing the SIM card slot can save valuable space inside the device, allowing manufacturers to create thinner, lighter and more portable devices, while also potentially creating more possibilities for improving battery capacity and performance. In addition, the application of eSIM technology will significantly improve the waterproof and shock-resistant performance of the device, providing users with more reliable and durable products.

In addition, eSIM technology brings many conveniences to users. It eliminates the trouble of carrying and replacing physical SIM cards, and users can self-service network services through the Internet anytime and anywhere. At the same time, eSIM also provides additional security, reducing the risk of SIM cards being stolen or copied, and protecting users' personal privacy and information security.

Overall, Apple’s full adoption of eSIM technology on iPad Pro and iPad Air not only demonstrates its determination and strength in technological innovation, but also points the way for future mobile device development. We have reason to believe that in the near future, more mobile devices will join the eSIM technology camp, bringing users a more convenient, secure, and reliable network connection experience.
