This year, Apple introduced three new iPhone models with many similarities. To the delight of many, the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr were equipped with an eSIM.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

All three iPhones are being delivered for the first time with dual SIM functionality - a feature that has been available from other manufacturers for some time and is particularly popular with people who use company cell phones. However, Apple has a special feature, as only one real SIM card can still be used. Anyone who has an additional number can use it via the eSIM built into the iPhone.<\/p>\n

What is an eSim?<\/h3>\n

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is an integrated SIM that is already built into the device as a chipset and can be assigned a mobile phone tariff at any time.<\/p>\n

Why is a dual SIM useful?<\/h3>\n

iPhone users who have two mobile phone numbers were previously forced to use two devices. The classic: business and private. With the new iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr models, Apple enables the use of one device in several areas of application thanks to the dual SIM function. Such a function can also be useful on vacation. Booking a suitable tariff is quick and the annoying task of changing the SIM card is no longer necessary.<\/p>\n

How to activate the eSim<\/h3>\n\n

In order to activate the eSim, an iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, iPhone Xr or newer models are required - version iOS 12.1 or later is required.<\/p>\n

There are three ways to activate the eSim.<\/p>\n
