In any case, everything indicates that both versions with sium tray and models without it will be sold.

But, beyond the absence or incorporation of the SIM tray, the difference between the models with that tray or without it will have a much more important difference: The battery capacity.

Indeed, the elimination of something as trivial as the SIM tray is some more space, and Apple engineers have decided to take advantage of it to add batteries with greater capacity, and we do not talk precisely about a couple of mah more.

The iPhone 17 pro without SIM tray will have up to 6.6% more battery than models with SIM

Specifically, On the iPhone 17 pro the SIM tray model will have 265 mAh more than the model with SIM, a 6.6% further. The difference is reduced a bit in the case of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, with a difference of 264 mAh.

Where there will be less difference is in the iPhone 17 Air, the finest model of the new generation of Apple phones will have a difference of only 113 mAh.
