Apple’s new iPhones are here and the latest super-slim model — the iPhone Air — is eSIM only. Not just in the US, but anywhere. And even for the iPhone 17 Pro models, Apple took the time to show us how the eSIM models have more room for a battery in them.
So, it’s becoming clear that eSIM is the future. It has a number of benefits that are hard to ignore:
It’s a slow but definitely ongoing process. The iPhone XS came with eSIM support 7 years ago. It joined the likes of Google’s Pixels and Samsung’s Galaxy flagships. Nowadays, contemporary devices that are in the higher midrange or flagship tier are pretty much guaranteed to have eSIM support.
In 2022, the industry shipped 293 million devices with eSIM functionality. In 2024, that number has grown to over half a billion.
