> Use eSIM Quick Transfer on iPhone
> Some carriers support SIM transfers from your previous iPhone to your new iPhone without needing to contact them. You can also convert your current physical SIM card to an eSIM.
The whole page is full of what eSIM can do, but it seems carriers are not too happy about that as many block things that should be outright possible.
There are tons of weird things that are impossible just because carriers, e.g I have a phone that can do eSIM or pSIM, I have a tablet that can do mobile, eSIM or pSIM. I have a nice data plan for the phone, and it is eligible to share it with a watch and/or a tablet. Such a hypothetical watch that I don't own would be eSIM, and be able to share the data plan but somehow the exact same case for the tablet can only be done via pSIM, neither can I convert its pSIM to an eSIM, which is allowed for the phone. It makes no sense.
