iPhone 17 Pro (256GB, eSIM-Only)
The iPhone 17 Pro was unveiled by Apple on September 22, 2025, and is now available for pre-order, with shipping starting September 27, 2025. This model marks the end of the 128GB base storage option across Apple’s lineup, starting directly at 256GB for the Pro. The eSIM-only variant is exclusive to specific countries and regions, including the US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands. In these markets, it lacks a physical SIM tray, relying entirely on embedded eSIM technology for cellular connectivity, which Apple promotes for enhanced security, flexibility, and seamless carrier switching (supported by over 500 global carriers).
