The SIM card on the iPhone 14 is located in the SIM tray on the left side of the device, except for models purchased in the United States. For these US models, the iPhone 14 does not have a physical SIM card tray and uses only eSIM for activation and cellular service

. If your iPhone 14 has a physical SIM tray (typically outside the US), you can find it on the left edge of the phone. To access it, insert a SIM eject tool or a straightened paper clip into the small hole beside the tray and gently push until the tray pops out. Then you can place the nano-SIM card into the tray, aligning the notch correctly, and reinsert the tray back into the phone

. In summary:

• US iPhone 14 models: No physical SIM tray, only eSIM.
• Non-US iPhone 14 models: SIM tray on the left side for a nano-SIM card.

This design change means if you bought your iPhone 14 in the US, you will need to activate cellular service using an eSIM profile provided by your carrier
