Apple to Use eSIM on iPhone 18 Pro in 12 Countries
Tech giant Apple is rumored to be implementing a new standard for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro device. This device will reportedly only support the eSIM format in 12 specific countries, meaning it will no longer feature a traditional physical SIM card slot.
This move is part of Apple's strategy to continue promoting the use of eSIM technology globally. By eliminating the physical card slot, Apple aims to create a slimmer device design and improve the phone's resistance to water and dust.
To date, the list of the 12 countries that will implement this policy remains a point of interest for gadget users worldwide. The use of eSIM is considered more practical for users who frequently travel abroad, as it allows for switching carriers without needing to swap out a physical card.
However, as of the time this news was released, there has been no official information regarding whether Indonesia is included in the list of these 12 countries. iPhone users in Indonesia are still awaiting further announcements from Apple regarding availability and support from local carriers for this technology.
For the Indonesian public, the transition to eSIM requires infrastructure readiness from local telecommunications service providers. If this policy is indeed widely implemented, users in Indonesia are expected to be able to adapt to the digital card system in the future.
