According to anonymous sources, Apple may release the foldable iPhone Fold only in a version with eSIM, that is, without a slot for a physical SIM card.
Main theses:
- The iPhone Fold design will not have room for a mechanical SIM tray.
- However, the company must take into account the requirements of users in some countries.
iPhone Fold may surprise many
As Instant Digital learned, the company intends to get rid of everything unnecessary.
This will allow more space for important internal components to fit everything into the device's slim body.
What's important to understand is that these plans also confirm recent predictions from Mark Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
According to the latter, the ultra-thin design of the iPhone Fold leaves no space for a mechanical SIM tray.
“It is design constraints that are forcing Apple to switch to eSIM in the foldable model. Instant Digital supports this version, the freed up space is needed for the battery, loop and other elements,” Kuo told reporters.

However, there will be new challenges that may hinder the developers' plans.
The virtual SIM card is not very popular with users in China, so Apple has no right to ignore local requirements.
