Today, the Chao Xue Team announced that they have successfully modified the Apple iPhone Air to accept a physical SIM card, and reportedly, the phone has already recognized a physical card.

According to their post, when asked whether this was an engineering unit or a mass-production unit, the team replied, “This is the first time we’ve supported a physical card providing signal.”

Worth mentioning: In October of this year, the Chao Xue Team released a statement stating that their eSIM mini-program, called “bleuicc,” is now live, aiming to “make all phones support native eSIM, including locked phones.” According to the mini-program page, the team uses a Bluetooth write/activation method for eSIM.

According to previous reports by modezone.com, the China-domestically sold iPhone Air launched on October 22, featuring ultra-ceramic crystal front/back panels, a mid-frame made of aerospace-grade titanium (grade 5), a thickness of 5.6 mm, and a 6.5″ 120 Hz ProMotion display (peak brightness of 3000 nits). The phone features an 18 MP front-facing selfie camera and a 48 MP rear camera (equivalent to 26 mm, f/1.6). It is powered by the A19 Pro chip, featuring a second-generation dynamic cache architecture, which delivers up to three times the GPU peak compute performance of the A18 Pro. It also utilizes Apple’s custom N1 chip and C1X self-designed modem, and supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, and Thread networking.
