iPhone 17 Pro's physical SIM card slot purportedly shown in leaked images
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have recently been rumored to drop the physical SIM card slot altogether on a global scale, but today a new rumor comes to contradict this assertion.
A tipster over on X has shared the images you can see below, which purportedly depict the iPhone 17 Pro's SIM card slot. Thus, the Pro and Pro Max will definitely still have a physical slot, at least in some markets. That is, of course, if this rumor pans out - we cannot independently verify that what we're looking at here is indeed the iPhone 17 Pro's SIM card slot. So, as usual, take all of this with a pinch of salt.
Purported iPhone 17 Pro SIM card slot
The iPhone 17 Pro is also rumored to start at 256GB of storage and sport repositioned antennas for better and more reliable reception. Its long-rumored redesigned camera island has most recently been confirmed by case maker dbrand.
The iPhone 17 family is expected to become official on September 9.

Apple Watch lineup to offer big improvements next year
A report by DigiTimes suggests Apple's current Watch series is selling very well, exceeding expectations by around 10%. Additionally, the company will bring significant improvements to the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Watch Ultra 3 that are expected to debut next year. By citing industry chain analysts, DigiTimes believes Apple is readying hardware, software and design upgrades to the new Apple Watch series. One of the most prominent features will be blood pressure detection and blood glucose monitoring. The latter is still in question, however, due to medical regulations, technological hurdles and patent disputes. The blood pressure detection will focus mostly on spotting trends and pushing alerts when abnormalities are detected. The industry supply chain analysis also reveals that the new Apple Watches will feature twice the sensors. The report doesn't give away the exact sensors in question, but says the new approach will reduce the devices' reliance on algorithmic data interpolation and start relying more on raw data from the sensors. This will likely improve battery efficiency and performance. We can also expect a major redesign with next year's iteration of the Apple Watch, but again, the report doesn't go into much detail.
