Probably for the best: Apple makes sure eSIMs won't nuke the operators

eSIM sucks

If the experience on my iPad is anything to go by, I’d rather have the two physical SIMs any day.

Also, am I the only one thinking that this puts WAY too much power on apple’s side?

The handset should be utterly network agnostic and log into whichever network it has a SIM for.

eSIM means networks will have to actually engage with Apple in order to allow their offers to show up on a selection menu.

I suspect it may be free now but what’s to stop Apple charging networks for the privilege?
