Apple has now officially announced its much-anticipated iPhone 13 series. Just like its predecessor, the company has unveiled four models — Apple iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Although the smartphones from Apple come with one physical SIM card slot, the company added support for eSIM with the iPhone XS and XS Max launch, the company is now expanding the feature with the new iPhone 13 lineup.
As reported by 9to5Mac, the newly launched Apple iPhone 13 series now comes with support for dual eSIMs, making it the fruits device from the technology giant to have support for this feature.
The smartphones feature a nano-SIM card slot and with the support for dual eSIMs, there’s a possibility of using three different lines for connectivity on the iPhones. However, it is not yet confirmed if the nano-SIM and two eSIMs will work simultaneously and how the system actually works. To know more about this, we’ll have to wait for an official statement or announcement from the company.
There’s also a possibility that some network carriers might not support eSIMs and may disable the feature if the device is purchased thorugh the network carrier.
Expanding the connectivity features, Apple said during the launch event that the new iPhone 13 models now come with support for more 5G bands, which should enable the new faster telecom network technology in more countries.
The Apple iPhone 13 series’ pricing starts at $699 for the Mini model and goes up to $1,599 for the top-end iPhone 13 Pro Max. All the models in this new series will go up for pre-orders from 17th September and the shipments will begin from 24th September.
