iPhone 13 has been announced.The performance of the new processor "A15 Bionic" and the evolution of the camera/shooting function are set up for the time being, and as in the question, four series products have been compatible with "dual ESIM".This means that you can now register two ESIMs on one iPhone.
ESIM is a mechanism that records necessary information for communication and calls in an IC (chip SIM) embedded inside the smartphone, and realizes a SIM equivalent.Since the information of the communication carrier can be rewritten from a remote place, there is an advantage that you can change/add your career without replacing the SIM card.
On the other hand, there is also a "dual SIM" that prepares two SIMs on one smartphone and uses two lines of different carriers/contracts in parallel.Dual ESIM means realizing a dual SIM environment with ESIM instead of SIM card.
If dual ESIM is realized on the iPhone, you may not need a SIM card.Not only does the SIM card be inserted and inserted, but there is also no need to mail the SIM card when canceling, or the risk of damage or loss.
Even if the dual ESIM is supported, there is no change in the communication function itself, and when contracting with a carrier, a driver's license, such as a driver's license, is required, but it is not necessary to worry about the physical existence of the SIM card.Certainly.The need to exchange SIM cards decreases, so the psychological hurdle to apply for the number portability (MNP) may be lowered.
And, although it is not a story about the iPhone, the general consumer's awareness that smartphones/mobile phones are purchased and purchased are gradually changing.
