In India, the iPhone models available through official channels come with dual SIM support to cater to the local market needs. Unlike the Hong Kong variants which typically feature two physical nano-SIM slots, Indian iPhones use a combination of one physical nano-SIM slot and one eSIM.
This configuration allows users to have two active phone numbers on a single device. The physical SIM slot accepts standard Indian carrier SIM cards from providers like Airtel, Jio, and Vi. Meanwhile, the eSIM functionality enables digital SIM activation without needing a physical card.
Indian consumers appreciate this dual SIM capability as it helps them manage separate numbers for personal and business use, or take advantage of different carrier offers for data and voice calls. All recent iPhone models sold in India, including iPhone 14 series and iPhone 15 series, support this hybrid SIM arrangement. |
