Good news, with the elimination of the SIM card slot, they fixed this bug and you can have two eSIMs active with no chance of ever getting a physical travel sim to work! /s



Bleh physical sim swapping when travelling is such a pain. I used travel data only esims all through the US, Europe and Egypt. All set up through a single app. I didn’t need to talk to dodgy airport phone shop people a single time in 3 months on the road - which, iPhone limitations aside, I consider a massive win.

(I used the Airalo app. No association. It worked great.)


For the five minutes it takes to get a physical SIM card, I'll take the much cheaper and typically faster service I get with local carriers vs eSIM MVNOs.
