Who is trading in their iPhone 13 Pro Max for the 14 Pro Max?

Even Vietnam, Kazakhstan and Sri Lanka have eSIM.
lol Trinidad and the whole Caribbean get left behind yes. So prices for the sim card version should end up being higher than (usual) the regular production eSIM for final import price here locally?

btw, basically all of Canada's mobile providers in that link support eSIM, so don't expect it from there.
ha what about business ppl who travel and have to use roaming?
You know that you can get dual sim Hong Kong spec iphones ?maj. tom wrote:that's what i thinking. Apple doesn't operate like that to design a different board and different production line for a single model phone. So hard luck for the mobile markets who didn't upgrade?

That wud be problems for us here. 99% of digicel or bmobile advice to fix call or service problems is to do a sim swap.maj. tom wrote:No I didn't know. But Apple doing this should force carriers to upgrade by iPhone 15 and not content to stay behind. At some point esim should be standard everywhere.

Trying to find a recent list for countries where esim are supported but no luck.
Did bmobile or digicel ever provide locked iphones locally?
maj. tom wrote:international released versions should still have a sim slot, but that is not like Apple's uniform product style.
Local carriers better get off their ass and start upgrading to eSIM within 2 years.

Very short-sighted move on Apple's part to do this as they have a large chunk of sales coming from international visitors who purchase while in the US to take their unlocked phones back home.
Also won't be able to buy from Apple US online store and ship with courier.
Anyone has any insight into bmobile/Digicel adopting eSIM soon?

The cellar Apple Watch has been out a while now and no eSIM support locally.
Not that the watch was enough incentive for local carriers to offer it.
