Are you having a hard time separating your social life from your business life? With new eSIMs this may be a little more difficult.
Unlike the SIM cards we know as small white plastic cards that are attached to the phone, eSIM is not a physical card that we can touch by hand. It's a little chip to attach to your smartphone.
However, in order for eSIM to work, mobile operators must support this new technology. So if you want to get one of the new iPhones (XS or XS Max), make sure your operator supports this new technology.

How will the new eSIM be different from the old SIM cards?
You will no longer need to replace a plastic SIM card to use a new phone number with eSIMs .
eSIM allows you to use two lines on a single phone. So, for example, you can use one line for work and the other for your personal life. But you can only use one at a time.
Furthermore, on these two lines, you will be able to choose different packages in terms of internet and speech charges.
Is Apple iPhone XS using a completely new technology?
eSIM technology is not new. Samsung has released this technology in 2016 with the smart watch made by the Gear S2.
In the third version of the Apple smart watch, it benefits from all the benefits of this technology. The fact that eSIM is smaller than nano SIM cards makes them ideal for the smart watch segment.
Google's popular smartphone, Pixel 2, also includes eSIM, but not all operators around the world currently support this technology.

How do eSIMs work?
This technology has an important advantage, as well as facilitating switching between operators or different lines.
It can also be rewritable.
In this way, without the need to wait for a new plastic card, with a single phone, the operator will be able to change.
With eSIMs, it's even easier to connect different devices to a mobile account.
Is it possible not to use eSIM on the new phone?
All new iPhones will come with physical SIM card slots.
So if you don't want to, yet, you don't have to use iPhone eSIM.

Can eSIMs be used around the world?
The new eSIM technology is supported by the Global Mobile Communications Systems (GSMA), the mobile communication operators association.
So, at least in theory, it needs to be available all over the world.
But in practice, this new technology has not been widely supported. Currently, operators in only 10 countries offer eSIM services: Austria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. (Not all of the operators here)
Is it more useful to consumers or producers with new technology?
Like all new technologies, eSIM also has pros and cons.

Or is it your technology?
Aside from facilitating transitions between lines and operators, the broader picture is also concerned that such new products can bring technology addiction to new heights.
Experts such as entrepreneur Belinda Parmar said, "Are any of you thinking about the good of the consumer?" emphasizes the importance of voicing the question.
