Maybe those who really want a physical sim card should check out the new iPad that was announced on Thursday. 10.9 inch with a physical SIM on those units... much cheaper than an iPhone 14 pro max...

My guess is that eventually, SIM cards will be like analog - outdated. I am sorry for those who feel that SIM cards are important, but as I keep telling my husband, life goes on whether or not we do. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2022 11:38 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States? Then you should not support Apple by buying a phone which does not meet your requirements. Maybe if enough people do this Apple will put a SIM tray into the iPhone 15 again although I personally probably wouldn't hold my breath. It would seem that e-SIM is where ?Apple thinks the world is going or maybe where they should go so they are giving it a helping hand. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of M.

Well said, Julian. In addition, if I pay the same money for a product as those outside the US, then I expect the same feature set. It really is that simple. To me, selling a phone model that does not offer the same features but that costs the same price as the enhanced model, is insulting. Just my opinion, of course.

For what it's worth, some of us simply just enjoy the freedom of switching our Sim card between phones without having to interact with our carrier. Remember the good ole days of CDMA? Were you had to interact with the carrier and give them your electronic serial number every time you wanted to switch phones? I realize that eSIM is nowhere near as draconian, but still, some of us just enjoy that freedom and enjoy that method and it should not be taken away from us. Therefore, I fully understand why Mark wants to go through the trouble of finding an iPhone 14 that still allows him the flexibility. Not that I'm necessarily in the market for an iPhone 14, but, I will be watching this discussion with interest. I'm certain that some of my clients will asked similar questions so I would like to have good info to give them.
