According to Apple, the latest 2018 iPhone models will all support dual SIM. However, in most markets worldwide, these two SIMs include one physical SIM and one electronic eSIM. Only in the Chinese, Hong Kong, and Macau markets can users purchase iPhones with dual physical SIM support. Is this the right decision for Apple at this time?
Why Does Apple Only Release iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max with Dual SIMs in the Chinese Market?
In reality, Apple rarely favors its products for a specific market. Apple always aims to standardize its products as much as possible to increase efficiency and save production costs.
Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that Apple is taking a risky gamble by launching dual physical SIM iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max in this market and facing intense competition from domestic smartphone brands.
Many users often wonder why Apple shows such favoritism towards this market. The answer is simple, Apple is ready to sacrifice to effectively penetrate the largest smartphone and internet market in the world, China.
iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max Facing Dwindling Sales in the Chinese Market
Unlike the scenes of queuing to buy the 2018 iPhones worldwide, in Hong Kong, China, the only place providing the new iPhones with 2 physical SIMs, they struggle to sell.
The intensity of the Chinese market for iPhones is reaching its peak. So why doesn't Apple focus on other markets like Vietnam, where the demand for 2 SIMs on iPhones is rising? This is a question many of our users have been asking.

The allure of the iPhone Xs Max with 2 physical SIMs is irresistible to Vietnamese users. If Apple does not support 2 physical SIMs for the iPhone Xs Max in Vietnam, then the only way for users to own it is through imported devices.
As per Mytour's findings, a gold iPhone Xs Max 64GB with 2 SIMs from Macao is currently priced at 32 million Vietnamese dong.
