Apple’s First new iPhones support dual-SIM: Here’s how e-SIM in India works

Apple’s new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max smartphones come with dual-SIM support. But the implementation of the technology is quite different. All you need to know about e-SIMs.


             

 Apple for the first time introduced dual-SIM functionality on its smartphones. The three new iPhones, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, support this feature. The dual-SIM on iPhones, however, doesn’t work in the traditional manner. Instead, Apple has added digital SIM, more popularly known as e-SIM. The secondary SIM on the iPhones is an eSIM which Apple had first introduced with the Watch Series 3 in India.

What is eSIM?

Embedded-Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM), as the name suggests will be installed in the device beforehand. The e-SIM stays on the device and cannot be physically pulled out like the traditional SIM slots. It’s more compact in size and can be used in a variety of devices including smartphones. The e-SIMs work in the same manner as the traditional SIMs do but are said to be more efficient and less prone to mechanic failures. e-SIM is considered to be an important technology for next-generation communication devices like the Internet of Things.

 One of the biggest benefits of e-SIMs is that they can be activated remotely by the supported service provider. For instance, you want to switch from Jio to Airtel or vice versa, you don’t need to get a physical card and install inside the device. In India, telecom operators Airtel and Reliance Jio offer eSIM support. Both the operators have launched special cellular service to support the new network. Apple will also be partnering with these two carriers for eSIM support on iPhones in India.

New high-res promo art for Avengers 4 shows tight new suit for Hulk, clean shaven Captain America

The Avengers are looking fresh and well dressed in yet another batch of promo art leaked online from the upcoming Avengers 4. After the mega success of Avengers: Infinity War in May, the audiences were asked to wait a long time to meet their favorite superheroes again in Avengers 4. However, in just a couple of months, the internet was flooded with grainy but quite credible promo art from the upcoming film. Now, almost two more months later, the same promo art is going viral again on social media pages except this time, the pictures are clear as day with a great resolution. So bring out your magnifying glasses and get to work. The promo art shows Hulk, who refused to help out the heroes in Avengers: Infinity War, in all his green glory. This time, he is not in a tattered old pair of jeans but a body-hugging suit. We assume it shrinks and expands just like he does.  Captain America, who gave men beard goals in the last movie, is now clean shaven and back in his old suit ...
