Factory reset without loosing esim

The eSIM will survive a complete factory reset. At time of easing the device and resetting it, you will be given an option to either save the eSIM plan or delete it. You can choose to save it.

You can follow these steps to complete a factory reset on your eSIM-compatiable iPhone. Go to 'Settings' > 'General' > 'Reset' > 'Erase All Content and Settings' > 'Erase iPhone' >'Erase All and Keep Mobile Plans'.

Hey fahdaj. In iOS 15 resetting your iPhone your eSim will survive. In above screenshot you shared it says it will erase your eSim.

But at the very last screen before resetting your phone it will ask you do you want to keep mobile data plan or erase it. You have to chose keep mobile data plan. It worked for me. Try it

fahdaj,

I am in the same boat - needing to erase and reset but the prompt on iOS has changed with the upgrade to 15. Did you ever get a resolution?

Hi I have the same problem its says eSim will be removed if I reset my iPhone.

It also worked for me, here is the next screen shot!

same with me
