- The iPhone 17 could only go ESIM in more countries
- The changes are inclined for the Clear Apple Clear case accessory
- The launch is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9
Apple will almost certainly make the official of the iPhone 17 on Tuesday, September 9, but as we have the days to the major launch event, the leaks continue – including new rumors around Esims and the official Apple Clear case.
Current iPhone models are only ESIM in the United States, and according to a source that was addressed to Macrumors, retail employees at Apple authorized EU resellers are now invited to prepare to manage iPhones without physical SIM cards.
With Esims offering better security and more convenience, the move is not really a surprise. Google has now become ESIM only for the first time with the new Google Pixel 10 series, but for the moment it only applies to the phones sold in the United States.
New iPhones, new cases

The other leak of the iPhone 17 making laps today concerns the case of the iPhone 17 Pro Clear with Magsafe – one of the official cases that Apple should launch for the new handset (and that it already offers for the iPhone 16 Pro).
According to images published by Tipsters @majinbuofficial and @sonnydickson, there will be some adjustments in the design. Less from the case will be transparent, with a panel covering most of the back of the phone and hiding the Magsafe connectors.
We can also see that there is a larger cutting for the cameras at the top, saving the disclosed rendering that we have seen from the overhaul of this phone. The Apple logo is also moved downwards, so it is in the center of space under the cameras.
It also seems that the case supports the new crossbar accessory that has been supposed, which allows you to transport your iPhone with a magnetic strap. In just over a week, we will know with certainty on which Apple worked.
