INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
There are many reasons why dual-SIM capabilities make sense
And that why many Android smartphones let you insert two SIM cards
Apple is entering the world of dual-SIM capabilities with a physical SIM tray and an eSIM for most of the world, and two physical SIM cards
in China.
You won&t be able to buy a second SIM card at the airport and put it in the phone
Instead, just like on the iPad, you&ll have to subscribe to a plan using your iPhone
Few telecom companies support eSIM just yet
Apple showed the logos of Verizon, T-Mobile, ATT, Bell, EE, Vodafone, Airtel, Deutsche Telekom, Truphone, GigSky and Jio.
Let hope that this
move is going to convince more telecom carriers to switch to eSIM
Being able to sign into your mobile plan just like you would sign into your Spotify account sounds like a dream.
If you use two SIM cards,
you&ll be able to manage two phone numbers, use two plans and more
This is particularly useful if you live in a fragmented region
For instance, many countries have regional telecom companies
So you need to swap your SIM card if you&re traveling back and forth between two cities.
In China, Apple can&t embed an eSIM into its
So the company is going to release a special iPhone Xs and Xs Max for China
This model will let you insert two physical SIM cards at once, back-to-back.
