Don't buy an iPhone 16 smartphone with two SIM cards: the main limitations are named

A well-known technoblogger warned his subscribers about possible difficulties with buying an iPhone 16 that supports two SIM cards. According to him, this version of the phone is designed specifically for the Chinese market and has a number of significant limitations that can significantly complicate the use of this device outside of China.

What you should know

The expert noted that the iPhone 16 dual-SIM version has several important drawbacks. First, this model does not support MagSafe wireless charging, which is one of the popular features in other iPhone versions. In addition, the phone lacks Apple Intelligence, which is responsible for working with personalized settings and recommendations, which may seem like a big minus for users who are accustomed to this technology.

Another serious problem is that group video and audio calls via FaceTime in the Chinese version of the iPhone 16 do not work at all. Call link generation also does not work, which usually allows users to create special links for convenient connection to a conversation. These limitations do not disappear even when changing the region of the phone.

What else is worth considering — The Chinese version does not support eSIM, which is a convenient solution for those who want to have multiple phone numbers on one device without having to insert physical SIM cards. In addition, due to the disabled Wi-Fi Calling function, users will be forced to spend more mobile traffic, which may be an unpleasant surprise, especially for those who are used to saving on calls via Wi-Fi.

Therefore, the expert recommends refraining from buying this version of the iPhone 16 unless you plan to use it specifically in China or are willing to put up with these restrictions.
