Finally, after a long wait, Apple unveiled the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max smartphones globally. The iPhone 14 series smartphone has been improved in many sections. But some features are enough to deter interested buyers from purchasing the iPhone 14 smartphone.
The iPhone 14 series does not have a physical SIM card slot. In fact, not a single smartphone in the iPhone 14 series has a SIM card tray.
The lack of a SIM card tray surprises many because those who frequently go outside the US or travel to different countries suffer if they cannot use a local SIM card.
iPhone 14 series supports e-SIM technology. But the problem is that not all mobile network operators support this technology. Even their prepaid and postpaid plans do not include e-SIM technology.
E-SIM technology has not yet been introduced in many countries of the world. As a result, if a citizen of the United States goes to a place where this technology is not available, it is mandatory to use a local SIM tray, then his iPhone 14 smartphone will not be of any use.
Another thing is that e-SIM plans are quite expensive. Compared to that physical SIM card system is available in a lower cost.
A customer spends a lot of money to buy the iPhone 14 series smartphone and later has to spend more money for e-SIM as there is no system to use a physical SIM card which is not reasonable in many cases.
Another disadvantage of this system is that it will be quite difficult to set up on the iPhone. After you move to another country, setting up the e-SIM profile on your iPhone can be difficult.
Although e-SIM is said to be the future of smartphone technology, physical SIM card slots are still very important for customers.
