Based on images recently shared by leaker Majin Bu, the iPhone 17 Pro models are poised to retain their SIM trays in certain countries. Earlier, The Information reported that Apple intends to phase out physical SIM trays from iPhones in additional countries this year. However, the report refrained from naming specific countries that would abandon the SIM tray, suggesting that China might not be among them. This divergence primarily stems from varying levels of eSIM technology acceptance and distinct policy landscapes across different markets. In regions with a high eSIM adoption rate, like the United States, the iPhone 17 Pro has fully embraced eSIM technology, doing away with the physical SIM card slot and enhancing the phone's internal structure. Conversely, in the Chinese market, where physical SIM cards remain predominant, the iPhone 17 Pro retains the SIM tray to align with local consumer usage habits.
