Reports are coming in that the iPhone 7 will utilize an "e-SIM" instead of a physical SIM card. The e-SIM is an embedded, rewritable SIM card that won't need to be swapped.
The plans would mean a standardised version of an 'e-Sim' being built into handsets, instead of a physical Sim card that needs to be inserted by the user. This would allow users to easily change carrier, without going through the rigmarole of switching-out sim cards and potentially having to unlock the device.
