INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Apple released the fifth beta of iOS 12 a few days ago
9to5mac discovered strings in configuration files that reference dual SIM devices
You should expect at least one new iPhone model with two SIM trays.
Apple is said to unveil three new iPhone models in September
In addition to an updated iPhone X, the company should announce a bigger second generation &iPhone X Plus&.
Apple also plans to bring the
notch to more devices with a replacement to the iPhone 8
This iPhone will feature a 6.1-inch LCD display with a notch as well as a single camera on the back of the device
It should be as expensive as the iPhone 8 today.
There have been rumors in the past that Apple was looking at selling iPhones with two SIM
It was unclear if Apple wanted to put a normal SIM tray and a second e-SIM card like on the Apple Watch.
But according to these
configuration files, this model will let you add two physical SIM cards — there are references to &second SIM status& and &second SIM tray
status&.
Apple could limit dual SIM support to some models in particular
For instance, it could be limited to the rumored iPhone X Plus, or maybe the high-end OLED models.
Many users don''t need two SIM slots
But it an essential feature for some countries
For instance, in India, cell carriers are regional companies
If you travel back and forth between Delhi and Mumbai, you need two SIM cards and two plans.
Frequent travelers could also use a second SIM
slot to avoid expensive roaming fees
It usually cheaper to buy a local SIM card
By using two SIM cards, you get the best of both worlds because you can still receive two-factor text messages, keep your phone number for
iMessage and more.
