Series launched IPhone 14 With the eSIM chip in the United States only, but this caused criticism by users who preferred the traditional SIM and this is why Apple published on its official website a number of features that the eSIM chip can provide to users. Let's find out in the following lines why Apple got rid of the traditional chip and why it decided to use the digital eSIM.
What is an eSIM
The eSIM is a digital SIM that is inside the device and cannot be exchanged, and supports networks through the system itself and through it you are able to operate your number without the need for a physical chip, and the digital chip allows you to install more than 8 chips in your iPhone Two eSIMs can be used at the same time and easily switched between them.
eSIM features
Apple said that the eSim is more secure than the regular one because if the iPhone is lost or stolen, you will not need to replace it or order another SIM and no one can remove the SIM from the phone to disable its services.
Also, the iPhone can store eight eSims or more and you can run two SIMs simultaneously, beside all this, you can switch between those slides easily through the settings on the iPhone.
Apple also notes that if you travel abroad, you can activate international roaming with an eSIM as if you had a physical SIM.
In the event that you purchase one of the iPhone 14 models from America, you can activate the eSim through more than 400 telecom companies in about 100 countries, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar.
Furthermore, Apple explained that there are many service providers around the world that offer prepaid eSIM data plans for long-term use anywhere in the world.
Finally, Apple has provided support for the virtual eSIM since the iPhone XS and XR but with the iPhone 14 series, the physical SIM card has been literally eliminated in all new iPhone models (in America only). Countries other than America will support the digital eSIM in addition to the traditional SIM and it is expected that Apple will remove the SIM tray in more countries in the coming period.
NoteEgypt is a third world country and still does not support eSIM, 5G technology, Wi-Fi, or connecting the Apple Watch with the telecom network.

By the way, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority in Egypt decided to provide the service in Egypt and gave orders to the companies to work on this issue.
We are now in Nigeria using an eSIM
Which is very cool, thanks.
Thanks for the great article 🌹
The e-sim is the first step to tightening the grip on humans and controlling them and their communications and tracking them in indirect ways.
Hi
I have an iPhone 14 carrying 2 nano sims directed to Hongkook
The question is why it wasn't esim
In my opinion, the eSIM is a very beautiful and useful feature, and as every feature, it has its advantages and disadvantages, but I do not think that it is ready enough to completely replace the Nano SIM, and the two sims must be placed in the iPhone, not just one of them, because I said in a previous article that there are certain times and circumstances or cases. A danger that the owner of the iPhone may go through, in which the iPhone may malfunction or his screen may be broken and he will not be able to use the phone to call and ask for help, and at the same time he may have another phone that can transfer the chip to it and operate it and call, but since the US version does not have a Nano SIM, it will not be in front of the owner of the iPhone Any way to operate the chip and ask for help, and there are other similar circumstances, such as if the owner of the American iPhone travels to another country that does not have eSIM support, then he will not be able to operate any chip on the iPhone and will not be able in any way to use the iPhone to make calls and messages, and these things will not be dispensed with by any person
The real advantage is that it accepts multiple chips, especially data chips while traveling. I mean, I buy the SIM from the Internet and I do it the first to arrive in the country, and I'm on the plane too.
You go to the airport and go to a store to buy a chip and a shower
I swear to God, a good move from Apple
I mean, if you call from SIM number one, and there is a call on SIM number XNUMX, the call will be received or it will be closed
This is a question
Second, do the two SIMs work together on XNUMX only or all other devices?
It works if Wi-Fi calls are working, I mean if someone knocks on you and you are talking and the Wi-Fi calls feature works, you will come to you that one calls you, you can receive calls
Thank you for the clarification
But do we know which countries support the eSIM?
Or even how do we know?
Are there regulations?
We can enter to find out which countries support the electronic chip
please enter : https://support.apple.com/ar-bh/HT209096
The electronic chip license for mobile companies is supposed to be activated by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority soon
What is the reason that Egypt does not support eSIMs, 5G technology, Wi-Fi connection, or connecting the Apple Watch with the telecom network?
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
I have an iPhone 13 that only has a Zain SIM card
Excellent article, thank you very much
I do not know why some of the stinging brothers attacked the content of the article. He told you that technology is obligatory in America only, as for the rest of the world, you are free to use it as you wish. Why the unjustified intolerance?
I am in Kuwait using the electronic chip from 2019 and I swear to God that it is excellent even when traveling comfortable
Unorganized clowning. After I received the phone, I returned it again because there was a problem in using it outside America. It was better for Apple to leave the chip in addition to the electronic one like XNUMX, but greed has no limits. I saved as much as I mean, and she knows that an Apple user will buy it from outside America. For example, I will get it from Canada
Correct your words, even if the price of a call is more than that of America
I was amazed by the colonial, defeatist, self-defeating spirit of the author of the article by saying: Egypt is a third world country!!!! jolt
I caught this last sentence, and I liked it, and the funny thing is that it has nothing to do with esim in the first and third world. The issue for Egypt is mostly security.
And to confirm the error of the author of the article, I am from Libya, and the esim chip has been supporting our networks for a long time, unless Libya is one of the first world countries. This is something else 😅
What is your explanation for the delay in technologies in Egypt? I remember that Egypt was the last country in the world to support GPS at that time. Nokia banned phones from Egypt because it could not pass its phones, which all support this technology. The same thing is repeated with every new technology.
For the record, I was convinced of the electronic chip for a reason and it is important that the digital chip is not removable, which means goodbye to losing the chip
I am excited to activate the esim chip, but is in the iPhone 14 only 8 numbers can be activated via esim, and thanks for the article
The idea of these services has been available in Oman, Muscat since XNUMX years before Corona. And frankly, the esim never costs a lot of money. We are in Amman, we did this for telecommunications companies. And the price was acceptable.
In Saudi Arabia, I use the electronic chip via stc. I do not feel this great benefit, which is considered a technical transfer. It is possible that I can use a second chip with it at the same time, and this technology has been present for a long time on Chinese devices and some Nokia devices
I liked the note at the end of the article
Meaningless justifications!
I wish they would rid us of the traditional sims, but they support the electronic sims correctly, so that two sims operate at the same time
First, a physical unit and an electronic unit were needed in order for them to work together
And I forgot to make it clear that the iPhone does not accept eight SIM cards, 10 SIM cards are accepted in iPhone 13 and later, you can operate two electronic SIMs
Egypt, Yemen, I think countries such as Morocco, Syria and many Arab countries did not implement this technology, except for the 4G and the empty words that we are in Yemen have been deprived of for a long time. We in Yemen have reached the year 2022. Companies started operating the 4G and people have arrived Egypt has the 4G for a long time, by God, thank God, I live in Saudi Arabia, but God suffices me, and yes, the agent. I don’t know when the internet service will improve. We don’t want an electronic chip at least. The internet service and the junk calls that have become in some countries have become a human right. We don’t have to do this The entire electronic chip has a problem. If you want to switch to a mobile phone, you must buy a second unit, and its price is more expensive than replacing a regular SIM. Also, it has a serious defect. If your mobile phone malfunctions, you cannot operate the SIM, you must replace it.
In addition to that, in some companies' great exploitation of prices, I use the electronic chip from a regular one for fifty riyals. Why? It should be less because it is a direct technology and not expensive for a company
In short, flashlights will spread, haha, or old phones, and people will use the actual chip on the mobile and leave the iPhone for the Internet only.
All these features I have in iPhone 13 Pro Mix, there is nothing new
This is what I said in my comment and the minds were not liked
Hello. I have a 12 pro max device. The feature has been around for a while
The question is do the two slides work at the same time?
yes. We mentioned this in the article. I have two sims of any kind.
Silly and logical fallacy
Natural explains the benefits of something when you add something new
But what happened is that Apple did not add anything new, on the contrary, it removed an advantage
It makes sense to explain to us what the user will benefit from removing an existing feature, which is of course zero
And all the advantages I mentioned for the integrated chip was present, he is in the iPhone XNUMX with the presence of the traditional chip
Don't bother (silly), just don't buy the US version 😊
You don't care about my comment and leave you alone, we are talking about evaluating a new product without personalization, big brain
Egypt has no such services!?!?!?!?!
A wonderful clarification.. especially the focus that the iPhone 14 devices support an external chip in the countries of Egypt
