Hi,


I have ordered an iPhone 14 pro 256GB space black from Apple's website, to the address in USA.


Will my iPhone have a place for a physical card?

No iPhone 14 originally sold in the USA will have a physical SIM card slot. Apple designs its products to last and needs to be ahead of the curve; in a few years, very few people there will be using physical SIM cards.


People who reside outside it are supposed to buy one from a local store; these still support them.

People who travel outside it are supposed to use an eSIM from a local carrier or get a roaming plan.
