While android handsets are typically rather generous in providing a dedicated slot for a second SIM card, this feature has been notably absent from Apple’s handsets over the last 10 years.
However, rumors have been mounting for one of the upcoming iPhone models to support dual-SIM functionality, and these rumors have been powerfully buffed by some lines of code that 9to5Mac has found within the iOS 12 developer beta 5.
The report has identified some lines of diagnostic text that specifically reference “secondSimStatus”, “secondSimTrayStatus”, and “isDualSimDevice” – all of that seem to suggest that dual SIM cards are supported at the software level at the very least. And considering the mention of a “tray”, there’s additionally possible to be the hardware to match.
A second SIM card slot might not be helpful to every user, except for people who prefer to switch between 2 different plans within their home country, or often travel abroad to regions with different networks, it’s an important tool.
The second slot allows you to make the switch over to a different plan via a menu option in settings instead of having to physically exchange SIM cards and risk losing the tiny sliver of plastic and copper.
The scenic route
Another recent theory floating around the rumor-mill is specifically in regards to the rumored iPhone XI plus with its vi.5-inch OLED display, and it suggests that the mega-screened device might inherit one among the iPad’s neater features.
On the iPad, Apple apps such as Calendar, Mail, and Contacts offer a landscape view that creates much better use of the extra screen property. for example, when using Mail, your inbox appears as a list on the left-hand side with a preview of each email on the right.
According to iHelpBR, the iPhone XI plus can have a 6.5-inch display with a resolution of 1,242 x 2,688, and from their testing with the aforementioned iOS 12 developer beta 5, they detected this iPad-style feature activated once running at this resolution and size.
