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?

MarkyR74 Given the time it took to get short code texts, I think that you may be waiting some time for sims.
I've had a quick search and couldn't see the bit about Esim only - could that be referring to the USA market?
Anyway, what with TTT (Trump Tariff Tax), that phone will probably cost about £20,000 so no need to get concerned 🤣
