Rumor predicts eSIM-only iPhones in Europe going forward
Apple already sells eSIM-only iPhones in 12 markets, including the US, Japan, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. A new report from Techmaniacs claims Europe may be next, starting with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max expected this fall.
The report says Apple plans to split the iPhone 18 lineup into two launch waves, with the Pro models arriving in the usual September window. In Europe, those Pro models would reportedly drop the physical SIM tray and rely only on eSIM, bringing the region in line with Apple’s existing eSIM-only markets.
