The new data indicates that Apple is preparing to significantly expand the geography of iPhone 17 sales without a physical slot for SIM cards. The company is expected to abandon the traditional “Simp” in a large number of countries by switching to ESIM technology. This has been reported by the publication of Macrumors. According to the media report, the employees of Apple dealers authorized at the European Union were ordered to undergo training on work with the iPhone, supporting exclusive ESIM, until Friday, September 5. This applies to all 27 EU states, including large markets such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Netherlands. It is noteworthy that the presentation of the iPhone 17 series, according to the forecast, will take place on Tuesday, September 9 – just four days after completing compulsory training. Information about training available through Apple seed application is used by employees of both Apple -branded stores and authorized partners around the world. This shows that the ESIM course is not limited to the territory of the European Union. Recall that in the United States, all the iPhone 14 models and the next devices have no physical slot for SIM cards, based on digital technology. Apple has not used this method in other areas, but will probably start with the iPhone 17 series. The conversion to ESIM, as Apple Emple has emphasized before the iPhone 14 was launched, it could not be extracted from a lost or stolen device. In addition, the iPhone allows you to manage at least eight ESIM records, helping to eliminate the need to buy, store and replace physical cards while traveling.
