Since the iPhone 14 series last year, Apple officially eliminated the physical SIM card in the United States and completely blocked the card slot, fully transitioning to eSIM technology. The primary advantage of this eSIM technology, when compared to regular SIM cards, is its convenience. It enables the binding of up to 8 numbers and effortless switching with a single click, while also conserving internal space in mobile phones once it becomes widespread.
Nevertheless, the adoption of eSIM in many countries is progressing slowly at present. For instance, in China, direct use remains unfeasible due to the blockage of the US version of parallel-imported iPhones. Last year, many merchants resorted to slotting methods for modifications, but this year, the technology has evolved once more.
The iPhone 15 Pro has been available on the market for a month now, and Huaqiangbei has once again implemented modifications, reviving the “apple skin” from that era.
Some bloggers have proudly showcased Huaqiangbei’s latest mobile phone case with an external SIM card. They’ve installed contacts on the middle frame of the iPhone 15 Pro and positioned contacts on the phone case for SIM card access. This design closely resembles the original “Apple Peel,” and it doesn’t require any additional charging either.
It’s worth noting that this mobile phone case method may impact the signal. Additionally, due to the loose external installation, there is a high likelihood of frequent reconnection and disconnection during daily usage. Ordinary users are strongly discouraged from attempting this.
