The 16 Pro Max is eSIM ONLY if it was purchased from the U.S. It seems the global version which we get in Canada still comes with a physical SIM card tray

Hello JuanChoy,

 

  Welcome to the community!

 

  The internet seems to have conflicting information regarding that device and physical SIM card. Unfortunately, I do not have access to an iPhone 16 Pro Max to verify the actual situation.

 

  As Original_Lucy notes, Apple Canada seems to state that the 16 Pro and Pro Max are not compatible with physical SIMs:

  However, there are reports that all of the Canadian iPhone 16 models do include the physical SIM slot (see here and here). In addition, actual owners of the device appear to confirm the presence of the physical SIM tray on the Canadian version (see here).

 

  Unless there are other community members that can provide additional verification, you might consider visiting a local store selling the device to see what might be mentioned on the box. Fido would offer the same Canadian version of the device as the big box stores.

 

Hope this helps 😀

 

Cheers


Hi @JuanChoy , this is what I found about iphone 16 pro max on Google. 

"No, the iPhone 16 Pro Max does not have a physical SIM card slot. Instead, it uses eSIM technology, which allows users to activate a cellular plan without a physical SIM card: "

Hope that answered your question. Cheers
