What is an eSIM

The eSIM is an electronic version of the SIM card that we know (the chip that carries our number) and is a non-exclusive Apple technology that has been gaining momentum since 2016, when it was presented at Mobile World Congress.

Apple already allows the use of the eSIM of its previous models. On the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11, as well as the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone of the mobile phone, you can use two different songs on the same device.

In the iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini models, you can have a dual SIM with two active eSIMs or one SIM card and one eSIM.

The iPhone 14 was the first mobile phone with the lock removed with room for a SIM card. The iPhone 15 takes this feature further.

However, Not all countries in the world have adapted to this technology and most operators do not yet offer the eSIM service.. That means if you buy the iPhone 15 in the United States and return it to your country, you may not be able to use it with a song.

Why consider buying an iPhone 15? What is attractive about this model?

Before purchasing, it is important to check with the operators whether they have the eSIM service or only offer physical cards.

But if you’re thinking of buying the new model from the United States, keep in mind that you’ll have to make the mandatory switch to an eSIM. This may mean switching operators until everyone else adapts to the new technology. (JO)
