The next iPhone might have dual SIM capability, but there is a catch

One of the most requested features of on the Apple iPhone is the ability to suport dual SIM 

cards. However, Apple has not implemented that feature on any of ther smartphones due to 

the n-number of resons. However, Apple might finally implement this feature on the iPhone 

launching in 2018, but, everyone will not be happy with this solution (at least Indians).

In fact, presently the Google Pixel is the only smartphone brand (Android) which offers a 

single SIM card slot like the iPhone counterpart. Most of the flagship smartphones from 

Samsung, HTC, LG, and Sony comes with a dual SIM card slot (at least in India), whereas 

in some international markets, these companies launch a single SIM variant of the same (in 

North America and Europe) as people tend to use a smartphone with just a single SIM card 

slot.

Dual SIM support explained

The Apple iPhone X1 or the Apple iPhone X 2nd Gen is likely to offer a dual-SIM support 

but not the dual SIM card slot. This means, Apple will go with the e-SIM, which has been 

already implemented in the several iPad models.

An Apple e-SIM is a virtual SIM, which will be embedded into the motherboard, which 

cannot be taken out. Instead, one can buy data and voice plans from Apple, which will be 

very useful for the international audience to access high-speed data without switching to a 

local SIM card.

Unfortunately, the Apple SIM service is not yet available in India. Even though the iPhone 

supports dual SIM cards, people in India and China will end up using just a single SIM card 

slot. However, Apple might launch the Apple SIM service in India in the coming days as well.

Like every year, Apple will be launching the next generation iPhones in September. This 

year, the company is expected to launch three new iPhones with Face ID and a notch 

design. A report also suggests that the company might launch an affordable version of the 

Apple iPhone SE 2 for as low of Rs 35,000.

Conclusion

Apple iPhone X1 is likely to support dual SIM cards, but, the smartphone will not offer dual 

SIM slots what so ever.
