The new iPhone 14 lineup<\/a> will ship without physical SIM trays \u2014 but only in the US. They\u2019ll be able to use two eSIMs at once (and store more than that), but is the lack of a physical tray a big deal? And is it user-hostile and stupid<\/a>? <\/p>\n

First, a refresher on eSIMs: they\u2019re SIM cards, but electronic, not physical. That means your phone can be provisioned remotely \u2014 no more going to a store to get a physical SIM. This makes it easier (in some ways) to switch networks or try one out \u2014 T-Mobile now uses eSIMs to let people test-drive its network for up to three months<\/a>. As of iOS 16, you can even transfer your eSIM between iPhones via Bluetooth<\/a>, which should make it almost as easy as a physical SIM \u2014 as long as you\u2019re staying in the Apple ecosystem. Of course.<\/p>\n
