iPhone 16 Models Still Feature a Physical SIM Card Tray for Users Outside the U.S.

In the U.S., this transition has been embraced, with iPhones dropping the physical SIM tray in favor of eSIM technology. However, with the release of the iPhone 16 lineup, it has been confirmed that models sold outside the United States still come with a physical SIM card tray.
