I just abandoned AT&T (finally) and transitioned to US Mobile (on VZW) in about 10 minutes thanks to eSIM. New iPhone's don't even work with a regular sim card any longer.

Seems like most of the complaints in here re: eSIM are around how a specific carrier deals with it and less about the technology itself?

Many countries still sell iPhone 17 series with physical SIM slots.


Indeed I have a iPhone 17 Pro with two SIM slots with support for eSIM if I want to use it. If Apple goes eSIM only in our country like they have done in some countries, I'll go back to Samsung.


Two physical SIM slots, so a sold-in-China iPhone? I thought those didn't have eSIM at all.
