John Kiff on 10 Aug 24G+D's Lars Hupel writes that eSIMs replace traditional, removable SIM cards with an embedded SIM chip directly on the device. SIM cards no longer need to be physically replaced for an update. Instead, a new eSIM can be simply downloaded. Starting with the iPhone 14 in 2022, Apple has stopped shipping physical SIM trays in the US. New models use eSIM only. By 2030, the eSIM adoption rate will reach 80% in Latin America, Southeast Asia and the Eurozone, while Middle East and North Africa is expected to reach 70%. Secure CBDC wallets could be run easily on eSIMs. https://www.gi-de.com/en/spotlight/digital-security/time-to-adopt-the-eSIM
