(Still on research)
Size of SIM card was reduced over the past 25-years
One of the Evolutionary step is the introduction of E-SIM
A nano Sim is 40x smaller than Full size sim card.
An E-sim is 30x smaller than the nano sim.
This E-sim saves 90% of space compared to nano
sim(Including the SIM slot and contacts)

10. E-SIM

11. The term E-SIM stands for Embedded-SIM card.
sometimes it is also called as eUICC.
So this E-SIM is soldered on the motherboard of
devices.
Which means it comes in the form of integrated
SIM chip that cannot be removed from a device
Therefore, we can say that an E-Sim is a non
removable SIM hardware integrated in the device
(embedded Universal Circuit Card)
