CobraGT 12/27/21 6:19:54 PM #52:	Kloe_Rinz posted... theres no benefit to SIM cards nowadays. E-sims are superior in every way. Imagine being able to switch carriers any time you want, with no delay. No lock in contracts. Pay for just a single day or even less if you want. SIM cards are old tech and theres no reason to continue using them. Its an inevitability they will be gone, so the sooner the better. having said that, lmao @ the clowns hating on Apple for being the first one to do it. And lmao @ them even more for grasping at a rumours website to fuel their impotent rage towards them, especially for something thats a good thing The way I understand it is that currently Apple bulk sells phones to companies with a soft lock that only lets the phone boot up if an activated sim card from the company is inserted in the sim slot.

Physical SIM cards are not required to activate a phone. With CDMA, the ESNs had to be added to your account and activated automatically once it connected to the network. With eSIM, the carrier profile is pushed to whatever whitelisted IMEIs that have been purchased in bulk. --- "It lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge" <cite>InfinityMonster posted [p:961281280] in iPhones wi...
