How to purchase an iPhone 15 with SIM slot

How can I get the shipping address of UPS store in Canada? Should I contact the UPS store in Canada? What are the procedures? Thanks.

This is really not cool for US customers. We are the only one who has no options.👎👎👎

Order an iPhone 15 from Apple Canada online. Shipping address to a UPS store in Canada. They charge $10.00 plus shipping cost to cross ship to the US. I have done it four times. Twice with a 14 and twice with 15s. Only catch is that you currently need a sim. You cannot get a sim to insert. I went into Verizon store with an 11 and asked to transfer my 13 eSIM to a physical sim and then inserted sim to my 14 and then direct into my 15. All good.

Hi Mike_apple - Which UPS Canada store did you use? Can you please give an address and contact person? Also, how do I trust that the UPS store will not lose my new phone? Thanks

Apple cannot do this in other countries because of lack of eSIM adoption and/or government regulations, it will be 10+ years before these other countries will allow Apple to sell eSIM only devices.

We all know/understand some of the PROs of using an eSIM phone:

• Convivence
• Simplicity
• Multiple devices able to accept a call
• SIM card security if the phone is lost/stolen

Here are some of the CONs:

• Not all countries use eSIMs
• eSIM card rates are more expensive than SIM card rates

And the WORST

• The phone can always be tracked because you cannot take the SIM out of the phone

anywhere else outside of the US. I dont know why they would delete such key feature. I am thinking of swtiching over to an android in the meantime, i have another vacation in may and i cannot be without a phone for three week again... it was brutal.

if you are looking for an iPhone 14 or newer with the slot for the SIM, you need to buy it outside the USA

I live in the USA, but I bought my 14 PRO in Europe to have the SIM slot. I need to have a back up while on the road and if something happen to my daily driver, I can simply plug the SIM into the iPhone 13 Mini that I carry as a back up phone and I’m back in business in a few seconds. It can’t be so quick with an e-sim that requires time and data be activated.

May I know where you are buying from? I badly need one with SIM card slot :(

Buy it in any country except the U.S.

Go to UPS.com chose the store

call them to verify address and that they will forward.

they charge $10.00 more than the shipping

I travel and it is almost always more expensive to get a roaming plan than to get a local sim card. And many carriers in other countries still do not support eSIM.

I am getting mine from an out of the country seller that ships to the US. It will cost more but at least it will help when traveling. I can't afford to not have that option.

That is not always an option.

Getting an eSIM from a local carrier in the UK, for example, as pay as you go modality ( which is what most would get when traveling) is a no go as currently no UK carrier offers the eSIM for pay as you go. And with roaming your main local carrier is ridiculously expensive.

As another user has mention, “How can I get the shipping address of UPS store in Canada? Should I contact the UPS store in Canada? What are the procedures? Thanks.” We appreciate your knowledge in advance

No iPhone 14 or above 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.
