Anonymous, 15 Aug 2019Esim is the future and you can't complain about it Nothing... moreIn areas with spotty coverage, it helps to have multiple SIM cards at hand. Same for international travellers.

SIMs have certain advantages over eSIMs

    Oh god I really hope Samsung doesn't follow this trend... just like how they follow Apple in removing the headphone jack, microSD card slot, put in FullHD+ resolution and charging $1000 for GNote 10 ._.

    Apple is and always being Bs

          The biggest BS is that since a microcontroller whose only purpose is to authenticate the battery wasn't initialized by an authorized technician, battery health info is unavailable. Complete BS. I bet you a LiePhone that if a technician initialize a knockoff battery without knowing it was a counterfeit, the OS wouldn't care and treat the copycat as a legit battery and offer battery health info. Also every other system in the world do not check for battery authenticity and can still provide battery health info

                Yes, its clear why they do it, is called money $$$. Pay our premium prices or there you have your reminder notification forever. But i believe that this is only the first step. Like in other of their products sooner than later they'll choose from what model iPhone start to brick thems after an "unauthorized repair" and that's all.

                So be ready to the day they'll brick the "unauthorized phones". It's coming.

                    when bought a car, actually, bought the fuel, spare parts, changing oils, and pay taxes

                    when bought printer, actually, bought ink, print head, and spare parts

                    when bought iphone, apple computers wants its customers to change to new models annually with more expensive price, so they build the phones empty ... no memory card, use the cloud, no user removable battery, go to authorised service centre ... no 3.5mm jack, use bluetooth ... later on, no sim card, use eSIM like those cdma phones

                    phones used to last longer with user removable battery ... in which, big brothers having difficulty to control, because user has the power to unplug the battery

                      Is This Service In US Only? If So,How Can Bangladeshi People Get This Service? That's Really A Matter Of Tention.

                          Every one knows why apple does this, it has nothing to do with safety.
