Yesterday at Apple’s global “Awe Dropping” event, the company announced a bold step forward: the new iPhone 17 series will ship with eSIM only, officially retiring support for physical SIM cards.


At easySim.global, we couldn’t be more excited about this decision. Apple has once again shown its ability to anticipate the future of technology — and to help the world move there faster.

Why This Matters

For years, eSIM has been the smarter, more sustainable, and more traveller-friendly way to stay connected:

  • No plastic, no shipping, no waiting. Everything is digital.

  • Instant activation. You can land in any country and get online in minutes.

  • Flexibility. Switch between carriers or plans without swapping tiny chips.

  • Sustainability. Less waste, fewer materials, and a lighter footprint for the planet.


By removing the physical SIM slot, Apple is accelerating a transition that benefits both people and the planet. It also frees up valuable internal space inside the iPhone — space that Apple has put toward giving users a larger battery. That means longer usage time, fewer recharges, and more freedom to stay connected while traveling.

Our mission has always been to give travellers the freedom to connect anywhere in the world, from anywhere in the world. Apple’s move makes this even easier.

At easySim.Global, our mission has always been to give travellers the freedom to connect anywhere in the world, from anywhere in the world. Apple’s move makes this even easier. With iPhone 17, every traveller now has a device ready to accept an eSIM instantly.

Our Thanks to Apple

We applaud Apple for its vision. By going all-in on eSIM, they’ve validated what we at easySim.Global have always believed: the future of mobile connectivity is digital, borderless, and hassle-free.

This is a milestone moment — and we’re proud to already be part of the journey.
