Apple said that some key features can’t be used on products that will be sold in British shops.

Apple announced the launch event for its newest product, which has a satellite-powered emergency roadside help system.

Users who are off the grid and do not have access to Wi-Fi can utilize the new Roadside Assistance service to send a text message for assistance if they are having trouble with their vehicle.

The cutting-edge function enables individuals to place calls to emergency services through satellite to obtain aid when stranded on the road.

iPhone 15 users without eSIM

iPhone 15 users are in for yet another letdown, as their devices won’t be able to use an eSIM once the new model is released.

Users can install up to eight eSIMs on a single iPhone and make use of two phone numbers simultaneously, thanks to this feature.

With the release of the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max, Apple has discontinued the sale of physical SIM cards for use with its iPhones in the United States.

Customers in the United States who have the most recent version of the iPhone are restricted to using eSIMs only.

Apple explained, “An eSIM enables you to conveniently activate cellular service securely without needing a physical SIM card.”

“Because eSIM is stored digitally on your iPhone, the likelihood of your SIM being physically damaged, lost, or stolen is significantly decreased.”

“Once you’ve finished setting it up, your SIM card will be deactivated, and you’ll be able to remove it from the SIM tray,” it will say.

On September 22, consumers in the UK will get the opportunity to purchase the most up-to-date smartphone.

Apple’s Shift to USB-C charging, sparks mixed reactions

It comes after a person who specializes in technology divulges the things that one must do before purchasing the newest iPhone.

If you are considering upgrading to the new iPhone 15 or purchasing an older model that has recently been put on sale, then there are a few things you will want to be aware of.

On the upcoming iPhone 15, Apple has also shifted away from using Lightning cables in favor of USB-C cables.

A USB-C cord is a new model, but you might already have some at home.
