New iPhones (iPhone XS, XS Max & XR) are ready to enter in Indian market from 28 September. Recently, Apple launched these three new iPhones models on 14th September 2018. Apple has come with dual sim functionality for first time (Nano Sim + e-Sim). All three new iPhones run on the company’s own A12 Bionic processor with next-generation Neural Engine.
The all new iPhones comes with dual sim functionality. One will be a regular nano-sim card slot and the other will be an e-sim or electronic sim. Existing micro-SIM cards will not be compatible with these new models of iPhones.
So what is an e-sim?
An e-Sim or embedded sim is essentially installed on a device itself. It means, you can’t physically take it out, and it is actually a part of the device. E-sim is considered to be more efficient in terms of functionality and less prone to any mechanical failures. E-sim comes pre-installed on mobile phone. Therefore no need to insert an additional sim to use the network while using an e-sim.
In India, Airtel and Reliance Jio are the network providers that support e-sim as of now. At the moment only the Apple Watch Series 3 cellular variant houses an e-sim and you basically have to configure your existing Airtel or Jio sim with the watch. So, whenever you are away from your iPhone, the Apple Watch Series 3 becomes your replacement phone.
If you already have an Airtel Post-paid or Reliance Jio connection, then you need not get a new number for just e-sim registration. You also have the option to convert the regular sim into e-sim. Like, if you have Airtel post-paid and a Vodafone sim, you can convert the Airtel number into e-sim to use it as the secondary number on the new iPhones while inserting physical sim of Vodafone in the device.
With the e-sim on the Apple iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, the e-sim will be a separate number in addition to the physical sim card inside your device. The best part about e-sim is that you can remotely switch from one network to the other, and you don’t need to physically switch the SIMs.
