Much has been said about the specs and novel design details of the exterior of this new 9,7-inch iPad Pro, but there is a detail we were overlooking and that is that the guys from Cupertino are betting on the e-SIM that is not exactly the same as the already known Apple SIM, and in this case they do it in the new iPad model 9,7-inch Pro.
Many of you will say that Apple has been betting on Apple SIM for a long time, specifically since 2014 and that it allows users to use the blank SIM with any operator, but this time Apple adds the e-SIM, that it is another SIM integrated in your board.
In this way, the path that Apple is taking is to start eliminating SIM cards since e-SIMs seem to be the way to go despite the fact that Apple opted for its own virtual SIM model and that at the moment it can only be found in US, German and UK models. It looks like it will be the way to go on the following devices. This is what they say in the Apple Store about their Apple SIM that is not the same as the e-SIM: «Integrated Apple SIM may be disabled when purchasing iPad Pro (9,7-inch) from certain carriers. Check with your operator for more information. Apple SIM and Integrated Apple SIM are not available in China. "
The iPad Pro is the first iPad to add this e-SIM and we are sure it will not be the last to do so. It should also be clarified that the slot for our nanoSIM does not disappear on the 9,7-inch iPad Pro,in fact there seem to be two different versions of the iPad Pro for countries where they can use this technology and those that cannot. The safest thing is that with the passage of time all operators globally will adapt to this new e-SIM and we will stop needing physical SIMs.
