iPhone 16E and eSIM
Apple are saying that the iPhone 16E (recently released this week) no longer supports physical SIMs. Will this mean SMARTY will now support eSIMs?
Smarty lady on chat said to order new sim (im not sure if the new one will fit , a new nano should be the same as an old nano surely?) they also said for safety the old sim would be deactivated….so I would be unable to make calls for up to 2 days, which is ridiculous!
gez Both the 8 and the 16e take a nano SIM, and there is no SIM smaller than that, so I can't see how the SIM from the 8 wouldn't fit in the 16e.
Smarty support are right in that issuing you a new SIM would block the old one, but you are right that a new nano SIM would be the same size as the old one, so there's no point ordering a new one.
