Teardowns showed that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have a big piece of useless plastic instead of the SIM card - here’s why it makes sense.
. The iPhone 14 Pro Max teardown that followed revealed the more expensive units have a big piece of plastic where the SIM tray used to be.
What Apple did was more courageous. You can’t fully switch to eSIM functionality if you keep the SIM tray in place. People would just use physical SIM cards. Unsurprisingly, Apple removed the internal SIM card components, which occupy plenty of space on the logic board. However, Apple did not replace the reclaimed space with anything useful. iFixit’s iPhone 14 Pro Maxshows that a big piece of plastic replaces the SIM tray slot. And it’s quite a large one too.
