I am just wondering, if these phones have “e-sims” will they also be sim locked???? Cause I doubt that mobile carriers will be like “oh yes give us esim and allow customers to try other carriers while using our services”… the e-sim stuff sounds super fishy! if anything I think this is a burden on consumers who want to flip sims for whatever reason… under no circumstances am I trying to call customer service 😂

The problem with esim. Most countries don’t support it. Also the countries that support it. They will ask for you to open a post paid account. Which means you have to show residency in that country. So. It BS that once you land that you can get an esim

Apple can say convenience and security as much as they want but this is all about iOS lock in and making it more difficult to hop from iOS to Android. Also for international travel I can’t think of one way eSIM is easier than just popping in an international SIM lol.

I don’t want to have to call anyone to change my phone, they better not do it like that. Sprint used to be like that before they switch to sim cards. You had to call their customer service to add a new device.

Apple removed the physical sim to reduce the bill of material costs. Next will be no physical charge connection (lighting or type C). I don’t see any other reason why than that

Things Apple doesn’t include for the sake of “flexibility:”
1. Expandable storage
2. Headphone jack
3. A USB-C port
4. And now, a SIM tray.
Thank god for “progress” and “flexibility.”

It’s a mistake for Apple to only offer the iPhone 14 with eSIM for US customers. Just keep both physical SIM and eSIM options available like everywhere else they’re selling the iPhone.

I have always kept a secondary phone and I switch my Sim card regularly. When my iPhone XR died unexpectedly, all I had to do was put the Sim card in my backup phone and I was good to go until I replaced the XR with an iPhone 13. I had AT&T activate the physical Sim on that phone so I still have that flexibility. I hate the idea of losing that, and nobody has addressed how to switch your eSIM from one phone to another. I’ll be keeping my iPhone 13 for the foreseeable future.

It’s only a matter of time. Apple is so good at initiating controversial changes that the world is eventually following their new standard. Give it a few more years and you will see carriers offer competitive pricing for eSIMs.
Right now, eSIMs are expensive or outright impossible on other parts of the world. But like I said, just wait and see. All other phone manufacturer will follow this and the carriers will be pressured to adapt to the change.

Apple did a Bad move by not giving the option to buy in the us a phone with physical sim or without it. I returned my iPhone 14pro as soon I got it. Going back to Samsung after so many years with apple.

As one of the “Consumers” talked about on this video, I want a physical sim card/tray. I want a headphone jack. I use a Sony Xperia 1 IV which has both of these, and expandable storage. Thankfully there’s one company that still listens to and looks after its customers. Keep up the excellent work Sony.

Problem with big companies is that as they grow, they begin to lose touch with their target markets and start producing what consumers don’t want. Then a new kid will spring up and relegate them to history. Remember Nokia and Blackberry?

I like the part where you say it gives more room for other components, when Apple just put a plastic cube instead…
Also, in the rest of the world, the e-sim is not or little developed, so they cannot do it for the moment elsewhere

First they took away my stone tablets, making my hammer and chisel useless. Then cars (yeah, it was right after paper) and I had to eat my horse. Now they virtualize my SIM card?!? This is just too much. I want my physical card! Actually, bring back my punch cards!!! All they need is a reader and we can feed all kinds of things into the iphone.
Joe Edwards

All of these reasons to use an eSIM can apply to a phone that has a standard SIM card and an eSIM option. No need to get rid of the actual Sim card and force ONLY an eSIM down our throats. Just wait until carrier. Start charging 20 bucks to transfer your eSIM.

Did she say one of the downside if I lose my phone or break it, I will have to do a little more work to get another phone activated? Soooo that means it will be a hassle in a nice way. I wanted this phone so badly but I also love using my android. I was hoping to have a sim card for I can switch phones easily.

All I’m seeing are complaints in the comment section. Don’t like it, then don’t get the iphone 14. Or don’t use an iPhone. But word has it, Samsung is following in Apple’s footsteps. Eventually all phones will have this requirement. I’ve been using esim on my pixel phone under the Google-Fi plan for 2 years now. There’s ZERO difference in experience. Plus, with Google -Fi I am good internationally. No need to get a local sim. Not sure what all the fuss is about. Stop getting carrier locked subsidies phones. Just pay your phone out right unlocked.
