Esim can be more dangerous than physical
People always say that ESim is the future and way to go, but the reality is, it can be just as insecure if not worse than having a physical Sim.
Just today my carrier account got compromised, someone was able to hack into my account and as a result changed the Esim from my iphone 16e to their phone which immediately made me lose my cell service.
Long story short i rushed to my carrier store, and they gave me a new physical one after verifying my id with them.
I know technically this is not common at all and carriers should be more secure ideally but the point is, the fact a hacker can just steal my entire phone number and connectivity in a second is 10x scarier to me than the possibility of my physical phone getting stolen off me.
Moreover, if my main iphone has a software update or crashes or glitches, i can swap the physical sim to another phone and switch back moment the iphone is fixed.
So with all these, isnt esims technically not a good idea going forward?
Are flagship carriers going to just end up abandoning physical sims altogether, making it more difficult to obtain sims or even use one praxtically with a dumbphone/smartphone hybrid users?
Really scary the direction our world is heading in terms of technology.
