Obviously Apple removed physical SIMs entirely on iPhone 14 onwards sold in the US and prompts others to adopt the optional eSIM during setup. This is likely to be become the norm in other regions and other phone manufacturers almost certainly likely to follow suit (removing headphone jack, removing chargers).
One obvious benefit is the reduction in plastic waste and pollution, which is no small thing, given that there now are more SIM cards in circulation than people on the planet.
I moved to O2 on a SIM only 12 month plan 3/4 months ago. In May next year I plan to get a new device and move to a Switch Up contract and probably update once a year when the new iPhones come out. So I wanting to know if I should move to eSIM?
I’ve heard a few horror stories (on multiple networks) with problems either setting up eSIMs or transferring them to new devices. Were these just initial problems due to being new technology that the UK networks didn’t have experience in. Has it got better? So basically wanting to hear opinions and hear people’s experience with eSIMs especially the setting them up and transferring them over to their new phones during an update.
