We already know the iPhone Airwhich many believed that I was going to have the number 17 in his name, but it seems that no, and Apple has preferred that it be an independent model, but not only in this aspect, but also in others, such as the Possibility of adding a SIM cardsomething that modifies, and much, the way to use it for people accustomed to the physical card.
Today we are going to review their pros a little, but above all, their cons, since many clients are wondering what is the benefit of buying something like that, which only has “buts”, and that, at least with the naked eye, the only remarkable thing is that it is thinner.
It is mandatory to use Esim on the iPhone Air
In the United States, iPhone have been carrying alone for years esimboth in one model and another, so this new, it is not a surprise for them. However, it will be in countries where it is not so normal to use this type of technology, as is the case in Spain, where although many already use it, most people have never had one, and even know how to do it.
The process is simple, and most companies offer the possibility of Transform your physical sim, into an esimcompatible with this type of terminals, and thus leaving the cards aside. This has pros and cons, although the biggest disadvantage is that many companies make you pay for it, and if you formate your phone, you have to request it again, so many users continue to prefer the lifelong card.
This will not be possible for the iPhone Air, since Apple, by design, has eliminated the slot in all countriesand while the iPhone 17 and Pro who have both options, the Air stays exclusively with double ESIM, so if you intend to buy it, be careful, and keep this in mind.
In the end, the iPhone Air arrives with a quite risky play by Apple. It is not just that it is finer or that it has a different name, it is that it directly changes the way to use it to the force to go through the ESIM. For many it will be a minor detail, but for others it is a real headache. Everything will depend on what the operators do: if they make it easy, fast and without charging extra, it may not be so dramatic; But if they complicate the process, people will notice, and much. The reality is that there are still a lot of people who prefer the lifelong card and do not want trouble. Apple, however, has decided to cut for the healthy.
In addition, the fact of having a smaller battery, which requires an external accessory to prolong it and that the name is not 17 Air, but Air Solo, implies that not even Apple knows if it will continue with this product, which is more expensive than an anterior plus version, such as that of the iPhone 16, and that offers nothing extra that is not its dimensions.
