iPhone 17 Pro's physical SIM card slot purportedly shown in leaked images
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have recently been rumored to drop the physical SIM card slot altogether on a global scale, but today a new rumor comes to contradict this assertion.
A tipster over on X has shared the images you can see below, which purportedly depict the iPhone 17 Pro's SIM card slot. Thus, the Pro and Pro Max will definitely still have a physical slot, at least in some markets. That is, of course, if this rumor pans out - we cannot independently verify that what we're looking at here is indeed the iPhone 17 Pro's SIM card slot. So, as usual, take all of this with a pinch of salt.
Purported iPhone 17 Pro SIM card slot
The iPhone 17 Pro is also rumored to start at 256GB of storage and sport repositioned antennas for better and more reliable reception. Its long-rumored redesigned camera island has most recently been confirmed by case maker dbrand.
The iPhone 17 family is expected to become official on September 9.

LatAm and Africa are still behind in eSIM support. And I recently learned that no Australian carrier has RCS support with Apple (not that surprising given how far behind telecom is down under).
