This has been here since iPhone XR had modular sim slot, same with iPhone 11. Why would they close the "loophole" if they are using this method to manufacture iPhones with either Single SIM or Dual SIM. This makes it easier for everyone. if they were to deliberately screw everyone over, it would be in the next model.

Dual Sim phones are very common and people generally have 2 phone numbers here in India. Though second esim is there, the hassle of getting one and then converting it back to physical Sim in case we switch phone is too much. Apple should add physical dual physical Sim capabilities for more countries.
@Zerbey
@Zerbey 2 жыл бұрын
This may be part of the reason it's not sold here in the USA, all major carriers support eSIM now and you can just get a physical SIM if you need a secondary line. Personally, I'd rather have two eSIMs for security purposes.

One "PRO TIP" when opening the phone. To easily weaken the glue that holds the lcd in place, when you manage to pry in with the plastic pick is to dip the other one on the tip with some IPA which will make the adhesive detach instantly on contact. Keep dipping the tip of the plastic pick into the IPA.

Great video as always Hugh! My Sunday morning habit! 👍 Would it be great if the esim worked in tandem with the dual sim slot you installed. You'll have a tri-sim iPhone! This mod will be a hit here in the Philippines, where dual sim phones are common. Only 1 telecom company offers esim here and it's only for postpaid, which sucks because majority of the users here are on prepaid plans. It's a waste buying an expensive iPhone using just 1 sim. I hope (🤞) Apple won't pair the sim tray to the phone. This practice of pairing must stop. Next thing you'll know even the screws, adhesive and sim tray ejector are paired with the phone. 😆

What happens if you setup a digital sim, and then swap the module to dual sim? Will the digital sim dissapear? Genuinely curious how the software will act.

What I'd love to have on a future model of iPhone, even though it will never happen for reasons that will quickly become apparent; - Transflective display (improved usability in sunlight, improved battery life) - Anti-glare screen finish - Nightvision camera - Dual-SIM by default - Return of headphone jack, Touch ID and FM radio chip - *User serviceability* - Expandable storage - Hybrid touchscreen (resistive and capacitive) that works even if you've got gloves on - Touch ID that uses ultrasound so that it's less sensitive to the exact angle which you position your finger, and is less susceptible to dirt, grime and water - A physical lock switch to prevent accidental inputs when the phone is in your pocket - Built-in geiger counter - Return of 3D touch Yeah. I want a smartphone with a built-in Geiger counter.

I suspect that the reasons why Apple doesn't offer physical dual SIM in most regions is because they either want to prepare to make the phone even thinner, and/or in order to get more companies to support eSIM.

Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible to buy a brand new phone now. Wait until a week or month before the release of a new one. Then benchmark the brand new phone record the scores. Then store it again (not used again to eliminate external factors). Wait until a new iPhone + Software Update. Then benchmark it again and compare the two benchmark scores. I have never seen a video comparing the before and after of Apple bricking iPhones, not quantitatively though, just a suggestion. I love your videos.

I enjoyed your video, and they are quite helpful. there are PRO/CON of having 2 physical sim and having 1 SIM and 1 eSIM in your Iphone. if your planning to travel to other countries and you may want that country data plan . it is cheaper than using your carrier data plan and once you land into that country looking for a SIM card can be a pain. As your plan your travel you can load many eSIM of those countries and then enable them once your there. 2 SIM work well if you have connection between 2 countries / states/ ie….. it comes down to your needs .
