Overview
All new smartphone models launched by Apple since 2018 have eSIM capability, but the iPhone 14 is the first to completely drop a physical SIM slot, albeit only on US models. To coincide with this, US operators are taking steps to raise awareness of eSIM services. For example, T-Mobile US announced that customers with unlocked eSIM-capable phones can now switch from other operators to T-Mobile through the new easy switch feature on the T-Mobile app.
According to GSMA Intelligence research , the total number of eSIM smartphones, tablets and smartwatches commercially available for purchase reached 127 in June 2022 – a fivefold increase on December 2018. Despite this, consumer awareness of eSIM technology remains low. The GSMA Intelligence Consumers in Focus Survey 2021 shows that less than 30% of consumers (on average across eight major countries analysed) are aware of eSIM – a clear barrier to adoption. The launch of eSIM-only phones and initiatives by operators to enhance the user experience for eSIM activation/onboarding should help boost consumer awareness and adoption.
In addition, the eSIM Technology is one of the exciting use cases of the IoT Devices. the eSIM is reducing the cost of the integration for Global IoT devices. The eSIM opens new opportunities to added value services. Operators can be provisioned and updated remotely over during the device lifecycle; this is the key for massive IoT deployments.

eSIM Accelerates Connected Health Success IoT in healthcare and life sciences promises a robust future of enhancing recovery, speeding drug development, and even using machine learning algorithms to develop custom cancer treatments. None of this will be possible without the endpoints and the connectivity – devices collecting data and communicating that data to the cloud, edge, or algorithm. Getting solutions to market can be sluggish because connectivity varies wildly and there’s no streamlined path to simply getting devices to work. eSIM accelerates this path to success with removing carrier complexity, seamless connectivity and future-proofing connected health deployments. Join KORE Senior Vice President of Connected Health, Americas, to learn how eSIM is the unified path to help IoT in healthcare and life sciences reach its potential through:
