Although it was something that was already rumored even before the presentation of them, now it is something that, with the exit of these, we have been able to verify directly, and that is that the iPhone With Solo Esimsuch as the one sold in the United States, has a larger battery than the rest of the countries.
This is due to the free hole that they get when removing the tray of the cards, being able to put a greater component, something we had not seen so far, and a way of encouraging people to go to this type of technology, although they do not offer us the option directly in countries like Spain.
The iPhone 17 with Esim have greater autonomy
And many may think that ESIM consumes less energy, or that it is due to another circumstance, but no, it is simply that, with more space, Apple has decided to put larger batteries. It is something strange, since it forces them to have more types of components for repair and manufacturing, but also a way to take advantage of that space that, in some countries it would be busy, but in others we would find it free, as is the case of the United States, where they only used Esim, although we would not have seen a greater battery for it, at least so far.
The surprising thing is that a detail as small as removing the SIM tray ends up marking a real difference in the battery. In the United States, where already They work only with EsimApple has been able to take advantage of that extra hole to put a slightly larger battery. So simple: more space inside, more autonomy outside.
The funny thing is that the brand did not comment in the presentation. Maybe because he did not want to compare directly with the rest of the models, or because he preferred that it was something that users discover on their own. In any case, those who buy there the iPhone have a plus that does not appear in the box, but that shows in the day to day.
In Europe, on the other hand, we continue with the classic tray. That means we have the same power, the same cameras and the same novelties … but with a somewhat more just battery. And of course, when autonomy is one of the most important points for any user, it hurts a bit to think that there is an identical model with more hours of use.
It would not be uncommon for Soon all countries definitely pass to ESIMand then Apple can unify the design and put larger batteries in all models. Until that moment comes, the American iPhone enjoy a silent advantage, which probably ends up encouraging more than one to make the jump to ESIM before what I thought.
And you, are you one of those who prefer SIM and less autonomy, or would you have liked that, at least, they would have let us choose the preferred model? I already use Esim, so I would not have cared to sacrifice the slot for more battery, and I would have finished choosing it.
