Overview<\/h2>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n

According to GSMA Intelligence\u00a0research\u00a0<\/a>, the total number of eSIM smartphones, tablets and smartwatches commercially available for purchase reached 127 in June 2022 \u2013 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 \u2013 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.<\/p>\r\n

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. \u00a0The eSIM opens new opportunities to added value services. Operators can be provisioned and updated remotely over during the device lifecycle;\u00a0this is the key\u00a0for massive IoT deployments.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
