- The iPhone 16 and its four models will not have a SIM card tray in the US.
- The rest of the countries can use one physical and one e-SIM with the phone.
- Only the iPhone 16 sold in mainland China will have dual physical SIM support.
Do the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro have a SIM Card Slot?
The answer to this question varies on where you live and from where you purchased your iPhone. If you are in the U.S. , then you get no option for a physical SIM . Apple has removed the SIM card tray entirely from all its U.S. models, starting from the iPhone 14. But you can still set up two e-SIMs at the same time.
For the rest of the world, the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max will still retain the SIM card slot. Users can use one physical SIM and one e-SIM if they want to use two carriers simultaneously. Only in mainland China will you get the option to use dual physical SIM cards.
