Other iPhone 14 Canada - No SIM Tray

[Sailormannn]

Looks like the Canadian versions will mirror the US and not support a physical SIM. That’s a hassle for me. I like the flexibility of dropping a local SIM card in when travelling. Changing phones is a breeze. Now have to purchase an eSIM card and get the carrier to activate.

Anyone else wondering if upgrade still makes sense.

“iPhone 14 models are activated with an eSIM and do not support a physical SIM. Use of eSIM requires a wireless service plan (which may include restrictions on switching service providers and roaming, even after contract expiration). Not all carriers support eSIM. Use of eSIM in iPhone may be disabled when purchased from some carriers. See your carrier for details. To learn more, visit apple.com/ca/esim.”

There is no such thing as an eSIM tray.

Anyhow, Canadian iPhone 14 series and iPhone 14 Pro series models support physical nano-SIMs.

Meant to say no SIM tray. I’m confused. Are you saying we can activate with a Nano-SIM as it says it has to be activated with eSIM.

According to the tech specs page, Canadian version has SIM tray. I'd trust that over what I suspect is incorrect information on the quoted page.

Yes. Nano-SIM support is listed right in the Canadian specs.

And also, in the presentation they only mentioned the US iPhones as having no SIM tray.

Canadian version has SIM tray. Look at the tech specs page

I saw that too but the disclosure says iPhone 14 models are activated with an eSIM. I hope you are right but will let others confirm.

Footnote #14 says “iPhone 14 models are activated with an eSIM and do not support a physical SIM“

They changed the footnote

Of course Canadian models have it. You can even see the tray in the photo.

Just saw they removed that clause. For once we get a break here

good to hear that the 14 has the sim tray in Canada still.

Hoping that continues to the iphone 15 🤞🏼
