Apple today announced that all iPhone 14 models sold in the US do not have a built-in SIM card tray and will rely entirely on eSIM technology.<\/p>\n


An eSIM is a digital SIM that allows users to activate a cellular plan without having to use a physical nano-SIM card. eSIM availability is rapidly expanding, but the technology is still not available in all countries, which explains why iPhone 14 models will remain available with a SIM card tray outside of the US for now.<\/p>\n
