I'm still mad about the headphone jack but I really can't complain about the SIM tray going away.

Getting the telcos bent over a barrel to providing easy access to eSIM is a net positive

EDIT oh gently caress i'm going to stay on my XR forever, my work provider doesn't support eSIM for business contracts(only for consumer)

Like is dealing with a sim card a legitimate concern for like 99% of the population?

i wonder if there's a large amount of people who lose theirs or gently caress up the sim tray and complain to carriers a bunch

also removing the sim tray means one less thing to physically move on the phone which i guess is a good thing for longevity? idk if that's really a big deal tho

Wait so what happens if you travel somewhere and need a SIM card?

at least in the uk and other places across europe getting a precard esim is as easy if not easier than getting a sim card.

How does eSim work if you want to give your phone to someone? I always give my old phone to my dad when I upgrade and usually he just swaps out SIM cards.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Well I'm glad I didn't buy the emergency satellite thing I've almost bought a dozen times for the 2 times I offroad a year.

(if getting a new iphone) When you do the iphone to iphone transfer it'll automatically move the line over to the new device

Possible eventual U.S. military contract to provide cheaper satellite iPhones to their overseas soldiers than what they currently now have?

Maybe, though the blowback from their employees would be substantial, as would the press attention to it.
