Your plan, without a SIM card. For fans of the eSIM standard, there is nothing surprising here. For the others, a little explanation is necessary. This solution is intended to replace the first, with the advantage of being completely digital: no need to receive a SIM card at home.Everything is done onlineand also makes it easier to change access provider when necessary.
In reality, it is a little more complex since there is a chip but it is automatically integrated into the iPhone and your operator only has to download the information from your plan to this entry to activate your line. Several models are already eligible, including theiPhone 13, but they all still have the classic SIM card port. Except that according to recent information straight from the very seriousWall Street Journal, Apple is reportedly preparing to abandon this slot.
Adoption record
For theWSJ, the reason for this potential internal change is relatively simple: inEuropeas in Asia, the adoption rate of eSIM functionality is growing. Same in the United States. As already mentioned in the press earlier in the year, Apple could therefore secretly develop a version of the iPhone 14 that only supports this format, even if it will perhaps only be reserved for a handful of customers in as a test at least at the beginning.
For Jeff Howard, vice-president of the mobile division at AT&T, one of the main American operators, this is a “natural evolution“. What's more, it is good to remember that leaving aside such small plastic prints only bodes well for the objectives ofwaste reductionthat Apple is aiming for. The Apple firm wishes in factgo zero carbon within eight years.
Perfect for globetrotters
Another benefit of the eSIM is also found for travelers, who will no longer have to juggle between their chips as soon as they cross a new border. Becauseif in Europe roaming still allows some freedoms for around ten years, this is not the case in other countries.
Finally, Anthony Goonetilleke (Amdocs) also mentions the case ofsecurity: if a flaw is detected, correcting it will only require deployment in a few seconds via OTA on millions of mobiles. With a physical SIM card, the maneuver is impossible…
