Apple has introduced the iPhone 17 Air, its thinnest phone yet. At just 5.6 mm thin, this model comes without a physical SIM card slot to increase battery capacity. This means that in many countries, including Turkey, the iPhone 17 Air will be available only with eSIM technology.
The iPhone 17 Air will come without a SIM card slot
The iPhone 17 Air’s lack of a physical SIM card slot is a result of its goal of increasing battery capacity and offering a better design. Apple explains this by saying that “eSIM has become an industry standard.”
The company states that using eSIM is easier, more secure, and saves valuable space inside the phone. It also offers great convenience for travelers.
Not only the iPhone 17 Air, but also the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro models will be available with eSIM support only in some countries. These countries include the US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, and many Middle Eastern countries.
The fact that the iPhone 17 Air will be available in Turkey without a physical SIM card slot is an important detail for users considering purchasing a phone. This is also a factor to consider for those considering importing a device from abroad.
