Bad. Especially with the way they're marketing it. If it's integrated with no user choice in future smartphones them people need to switch to companies targeting modular and pro right to repair phones like Fairphone.

Stop making smartphones stupid thin.
MAINLY if it is... moreThey're not making the phones thinner. In fact, I haven't seen anyone make a phone in recent years that's thinner than 8mm.
The goal in making the components more compact is to accommodate for more hardware to fit inside a limited space of a phone. For instance, you now get larger camera sensors because of the idea of stacking the motherboard components instead of having another motherboard for other things.
It's those things that enable manufacturers to pack in more, but I guess you always think that it's "only" to make phones thin. How sad :(((

Once Apple uses this tech in their processors, it will be an industry standard.

If anything, this makes it a true burner phone, because you are forced to dump the phone with the internal iSIM.

Gandalf, 19 Jan 2022I mean you can always buy a burner phone for $20, no one is... moreNot when normal SIMs are abandoned and there are no old phones.

The SIM card is effectively a cryptographic unit that can apply digital signatures. With a physical SIM card that you own and control, there's some security here preventing others from misusing it.
Trusting an American company that obeys NSA etc. to now replace my SIM card with a piece of digital logic in their chipsets which they fully control... not so sure this is a good idea.

What Joy, Square Wheels.
In the early days you needed to blow a 2716 then programming a N.A.M from the keypad.
Then came sims, then came Apple that turned the clock back and kids are doffing their caps to Apple Square Wherl am esim’ sad

MAINLY if it is to waste this “precious space” with 2Mp useless sensors.

Both eSIM and iSIM are a nice plot by governments to make it impossible to use SIM cards anonymously. With them the burner phone becomes a thing of the past. Sigh. Whoever is celebrating this "innovation" hasn't read 1984.

I hope this at least uses same technology for carriers to make it easy to swap.
