Apple is doubling down on this feature by entirely doing away with the infrastructure to support physical SIM cards on the iPhone 14.
“With eSIM, you can quickly transfer an existing cellular plan or get a new cellular plan, all digitally,” Kaiann Drance, Apple’s VP of iPhone marketing, said at the event Wednesday.
The Federal Communications Commission also states that eSIMs carry “significant security benefits.” Some bad actors have been known to steal a physical SIM card and swap it into a different phone to gain access to someone’s information and reset their accounts, according to the federal agency. An eSIM card may reduce this risk because it “cannot be stolen without stealing the phone.”
