esims are neat tho
They may be neat, but I don't think that should be the only means of getting your phone connected to your carrier/telco.
(all carriers support and promote esim where i live)
what advantages do physical, external sims offer over built-in esim modules?
Walking to a supermarket in some random country you are traveling to and getting a sim worth 10$ to go.
