US iPhone 14 does not use extra space from removing SIM tray

Apple swapped the SIM tray in US iPhone 14 models with a plastic block

iFixit's teardown of the iPhone 14 Pro Max has revealed that Apple did not use the extra space created by dropping the SIM tray from models sold in the US.

All iPhone 14 models sold in the US rely entirely on digital eSIMs, and Apple has filled the free space with a square piece of plastic.

I hope it's plastic recycled from the oceans.

The scary part is that the other manufacturers will copy this move.
