2. What is eSIM ?
 It’s different to the normal SIM cards we use in our
devices.
 eSIM stands for “embedded SIM” or eUICC (embedded
Universal Integrated Circuit Card)
 SIM technology that’s designed to make it easier to
switch network, or switch between personal and
business numbers.
 An eSIM is an electronic SIM card. As the name
suggests, it will replace the physical, plastic SIM card
all current smartphones use with a virtual embedded
equivalent that cannot be removed.

3. When it started?
 The first time we came across this hardware in
person was in the Samsung Gear S2 3G in 2016.
 However, it was the Apple Watch 3 that really brought
eSIM technology into the spotlight.

4. Why and what is the purpose of
this?
a. In the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max the idea behind the
eSIM is to enable the first dual-SIM iPhone.
b. Instead adding an extra slot for an additional nano-SIM. You’ll
be able to subscribe to a network using your phone just like
you do on cellular-enabled.
c. Easily switch to a new operator without having to insert a
specific SIM card.
d. More convenient
