Reminder that SIM card slots are what's keeping phones from being thinner.Every brand will copy the iphone air's paper thin design now that apple did it first, SIM cards are now a dated technology that will be swiftly removed like 3.5mm headphone jacks and microSD card slots, forcing you to use budget $300 phones forever if you want to keep using your dinosaur standards.I hope you're not thinking of switching mobile carriers or even roaming with different SIMs either because eSIMs unlock a whole new profit stream for carriers since you now need their permission to connect your device to their networks.
>>106537332Nothing has changed.
since the reaction thread my new litmus test for fucktards is if they think esim is a bad thing.
>>106537679esim is a bad thing because of forced phone 2fa everywhere
Explain like I'm 5 why a physical SIM is more "open" than an eSIM. You'll need to connect to someone's cell tower in any case.
>>106537332>forcing you to use budget $300 phones forever if you want to keep using your dinosaur standardsThat sounds good to me.When whatever iPhone I had stopped working correctly, and I decided to switch to an Android, I just bought a $150 budget phone. I took the sim from the iPhone (that's how old it was, it still let you use a sim) and put it in the Android one. It worked.I didn't have to contact anyone for permission. I didn't have to visit a store to get things setup or transferred or have secret codes implanted. Is it possible to move an esim from one phone to another, by yourself, without some company somewhere permitting the process? (honest question, I don't know if that's possible or not) Because if it isn't, I'm not going to use it.
>>106537332I hate thin phones, it feels like slicing my hand holding one. btw why the tranime pic ?
>>106537714Waiting for someone to answer this.Used an eSIM for the first time this year while travelling to Korea. Was pretty neat to have 5GB of data for 10 bucks immediately available from the moment the plane touched the ground.
>>106537332>Reminder that SIM card slots are what's keeping phones from being thinnerthe thickest part of the phone continues to be the camera lens.
>>106537714>travel to another country where roaming is expensive>buy SIM at the airport, have local number to call people and receive callsYou can't do this with an eSIM.Also:>have old SIM, put it in once a month to check for missed calls and SMS

>>106538698The NanoSIM is the reason your phone is a ΒΌ" thick.Not the battery. Not the CPU. Not the Cameras. Not the screen.
>>106537332>SIM cards are now a dated technology that will be swiftly removed like 3.5mm headphone jacks and microSD card slotsNot my problem
>>106537691>forced phone 2fa everywhereThis is gotten to the point now, without me opting in AT ALL...where I feel like if my phone was lost or stolen I would be seriously fucked. Like bank, emails, etc. Just thinking about it makes me want to an hero. Only thing I can think of is buying a backup phone or something and leaving it at home that is also logged in to all the relevant apps. I have old phones around, but they get security dropped after a few years(5 at most?). So I'd have to get a newish one. So fucking annoying and a waste of time and money.
