The current and last several iphones have been dual sim, one physical and one eSim.
I'm wondering if they keep an eSIM-only model as having two eSIMs.
The dual sim implementation is very weird, like its clear they only imagine that someone is popping in a different SIM for travel, as opposed to just having two numbers they use all the time like I do. Even most of the support is catered to travellers with a temporary second physical sim.
The OS implementation is odd, but has gotten better. Only FaceTime can't differentiate.
But I really wish Apple would do more contact management, even with permissions. Should be a way to silo certain contacts. Not every app I share contacts with should know every contact.

- vmception 5y agoThats interesting. I looked it up now: Two active plans with dual eSIM Or Two active plans with a physical SIM and an eSIM Weird that it cant just do 3 active plans Is it a radio limitation?

- smoovb 5y agoFunny, I bet there is a similar Chinese thread to this one where Chinese are moaning about not having access to eSIM devices.
- fomine3 5y agoiPhone and Pixel had/have a serious bug that can't do emergency call on specific dual SIM setup (dual (e)SIM installed but one SIM is data-only) in Japan. Apple takes over 2 months to fix this, Google still not fixed after 1 month. I wonder how they miss.
