Cupertino-based tech giant Apple plans to launch iPhone models without a SIM slot by September 2022.
Earlier this week, a rumor from Brazilian website Blog do iPhone claimed that iPhone 15 Pro models released in 2023 may not have a physical SIM card slot. However, a new report from MacRumors indicates that Apple has advised major U.S. carriers to prepare for the launch of eSIM-only smartphones by September 2022.
There is a possibility that Apple will remove the physical location of the SIM card starting with some iPhone 14 models, rather than some iPhone 15 models as originally rumored to be. It is also said that there will be support for two eSIM cards, ensuring dual SIM functionality. Removing the SIM card slot could further improve water resistance.
The next flagship series, the iPhone 14 line, will come with up to 2TB of storage.

Apple will adopt QLC flash storage for iPhone next year and with new storage technology it will increase its capacity to 2TB. Apple also reportedly plans to add a 48MP camera lens to the iPhone next year, followed by a periscope lens in 2023.
These iPhone camera upgrades over the next two years will help increase market share, revenue and profits for Taiwanese manufacturer Largan Precision. The 48MP camera will be limited to iPhone 14 Pro models and will allow 8K video recording, up from 4K currently.
8K videos could be viewed on Apple’s AR / VR headset which may launch next year.
