At 5.6mm, ultra-slim iPhone Air set to arrive in India — but there’s no room for your SIM
Apple is bringing its newest flagship, the ultra-slim iPhone Air, to India fresh from its global unveiling just days ago. At just 5.6mm thick, Apple says the Air is “so impossibly thin and light that it nearly disappears in your hand.”
But the buzz comes with a twist: the Air supports only digital eSIMs and has no physical SIM card slot. That marks a radical shift in a country where eSIM adoption is still in its infancy. Only 10 to 15 per cent of phones currently sold in India support the use of eSIMS but the percentage of users who have made the switch from physical SIMs to embedded eSIMs is much lower.
