Advantage of esim over SIM card

Since an eSIM (Embedded SIM) is digital, then when new carrier technology comes out, you won't have to get a new SIM card to take advantage of it. For example, if you had a 5G compatible iPhone but were using a physical SIM that's older, it may not support 5G depending on your carrier. You would then have to get a newer physical SIM that supports 5G. eSIM avoids this issue.

Additionally, transferring to a new device is more seamless with eSIM, as you can just do a phone-to-phone transfer called Quick Start, which transfers your data from the old device, including your eSIM information.
