Apple's iPhone 17 Air Ditches Physical SIM, China Unicom Backs eSIM
Apple has unveiled the iPhone 17 Air, boasting an ultra-thin 5.5 mm design and no physical SIM card slot. This marks a significant shift towards eSIM technology. Meanwhile, China Unicom, a major Chinese operator, has announced its support for the iPhone 17 series' eSIM functionality.
The iPhone 17 Air, Apple's latest offering, is set to revolutionize the market with its sleek, ultra-thin design. Notably, it will not come with a physical SIM card slot, instead relying solely on eSIM technology. This makes it the first smartphone in Germany to offer exclusive eSIM support.
China Unicom, a key player in the Chinese telecom industry, has shown its backing for the iPhone 17 series' eSIM functionality. However, Chinese users may initially need to visit offline service centers to process eSIM-related services. Operators are currently in the testing phase for the iPhone 17 Air's eSIM feature.
The iPhone 17 Air's launch signals a new era for smartphones, with eSIM technology taking center stage. Backed by China Unicom's support, the iPhone 17 series is poised to drive eSIM adoption in the Chinese market, despite initial limitations in eSIM service processing.
