I feel you, but consider this - we live in alternative reality where eSIM comes first and then somebody comes and says you need to put a black box into your phone (which is btw spinning up whole java environment) if you want to make calls. You could probably get outraged at that too.
- easrng 4y agoAn eSIM is the same black box, just reconfigurable and soldered on.
- comboy 4y agoI mean so is CPU, but in general it's a bit harder to hide stuff in some untrusted binary than it is in hardware. In general. In this case I think we're doomed regardless. Btw, if somebody knows good technical writeup on eSIM, I'd love to read it.
- easrng 4y agoeSIMs are called eUICCs in the specs iirc, that might help you find information about them.
- kelnos 4y agoFor many of us in the US, that was indeed the case. I had a CDMA phone on Verizon's network until 2007 when I switched to T-Mobile and got a GSM phone.
