In today’s rapidly moving world of technology, several smartphone manufacturers have been nearing eSIM adoption, including some big names like Apple, Google, Samsung, and more. As a result, this can be considered a future technology in the coming years. In contrast, Apple, the most popular and renowned electronics brand, has already adopted eSIM technology and has been manufacturing smartphones with an eSIM embedded within them. At the same time, several iPhone users have been wondering how they can transfer an eSIM from their old iPhone to an eSIM on their new iPhone device.
An eSIM is a digital SIM card embedded on your smartphone’s motherboard that works almost similar to the physical SIM card, storing all the contact information and activating mobile plans from your network provider without requiring a physical SIM. On an iPhone, users can seamlessly install eight or more eSIMs and can use two phone numbers simultaneously.
It’s been a while since Apple started using eSIM for its iPhone models. Among several other models, one that falls into the same category is the iPhone 14 model. In the US, the Cupertino giant has sold all the iPhone 14 models that completely rely on an eSIM, removing the use of traditional physical SIM entirely.
