For years, Apple has offered eSIM-only iPhone models in the U.S. and iPhones with physical SIM card slots in other markets, including Canada. However, that's all changing with the iPhone 17 series. Heck, the iPhone 14 had plastic spacers inside the eSIM-only models where the physical SIM slot would go. We also separately confirmed with Apple Canada that the Canadian iPhone 17 models will only offer eSIM. Since then, the iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16e have all offered physical SIM slots in Canada.
