iPhone 17 will not have a SIM slot

(Dan Tri) - Apple will remove the physical SIM slot from the iPhone 17 product line. However, this will only apply in certain countries.

According to MacRumors , Apple has required employees at its authorized dealers in many European countries to complete training related to the eSIM feature on iPhone before September 5.

Starting with the iPhone 14 generation, Apple has removed the physical SIM slot for devices sold in the US market. So far, the company has not expanded this setup to any other countries.

Most likely, the iPhone 17 lineup will see a change as Apple may remove the SIM slot on iPhones in more countries.

As planned, Apple will hold an "Awe Dropping" event at 0:00 on September 10 (Vietnam time) to introduce the iPhone 17 generation. Many rumors say the company will start accepting pre-orders from September 12. The first iPhone 17s will be delivered to users on September 19.

Similar to previous years, the markets that will sell iPhone 17 early will include the US, China, Japan, etc. This year, Vietnam may also be on the list of countries that will sell iPhone 17 first.

A report from MacRumors said that Apple will increase the price of the entire iPhone 17 product line by $50. This move is to compensate for the continuously increasing component costs, as well as the impact of the new tariff policy between the US and China.

Currently, the iPhone 16 lineup starts at $799, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at $1,199. If the information is accurate, the iPhone 17 will start at $849, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max will start at $1,249.

According to 9to5mac , the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will allow users to use the device to wirelessly charge other products. This means users can use the iPhone 17 Pro to charge AirPods, Apple Watch, or even an iPhone.

In fact, this feature has been around for a long time on Android phones. However, no iPhone model supports this feature despite rumors that it has been around for a long time.

The reverse wireless charging feature will likely only be integrated on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max duo. This is part of Apple's strategy to decentralize its product lines.
