Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 Series on 9 September. Reports indicate that all iPhone 17 models sold in the European Union (EU) may not include a physical SIM slot. Users in Germany, France, and Spain will rely on eSIMs. EU authorised resellers must complete eSIM training by 5 September, signalling Apple’s move to expand eSIM adoption in international markets.
Design and Features
The Apple iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a 6.6-inch ProMotion OLED display, a 48MP rear camera, and weigh under 150 grams. Its 5.5mm slim design may require the removal of the physical SIM slot, consistent with Apple’s eSIM strategy.
