iPhone Air is Here: Apple’s First eSIM-Only iPhone Worldwide

blog

 

 

Apple has made history with the launch of the iPhone Air — the world’s first iPhone to go 100% eSIM-only across all global markets, including China.

No SIM tray. No nano-SIM slot. Just pure digital connectivity. This marks a bold shift in how we’ll connect in the future, and it’s perfectly aligned with Roamvy’s mission to make global travel connectivity seamless.

 

 

iPhone Air eSIM Features

The iPhone Air is built from the ground up with eSIM at its core:

  • Multiple profiles: Store eight or more eSIMs on your device.
  • Dual eSIM support: Run two eSIMs simultaneously (for calls, texts, and data).
  • Digital setup: Activate service instantly with a QR code, carrier app, or eSIM transfer.
  • Global uniformity: Unlike the iPhone 17 series, which still mixes nano-SIM and eSIM depending on the region, iPhone Air is eSIM-only everywhere.

Whether you’re switching between personal and work numbers, or hopping between carriers while traveling, iPhone Air makes it effortless.
