The plastic SIM card has been a staple of mobile phones for decades. But as devices get sleeker and more powerful, the physical SIM is becoming a bottleneck. Enter the eSIM.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (Embedded Subscriber Identity Module) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical nano-SIM. It's built right into your device's motherboard.

Key Differences

Why the Shift?

Manufacturers love eSIMs because they save precious internal space for bigger batteries or better cameras. Users love them for the flexibility and ease of use. It's a win-win that signals the inevitable end of the plastic SIM era.
