minus-squarewoelkchen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·25 days agoAs soon as the ability to just physically remove the SIM is gone, the big providers will add locks in software to enshittify the experience. That’s a given. I can see Apple becoming a mobile service provider and locking all iPhones users to them, for example. eSIM experience will only stay smooth as the alternative physical SIM option exists.
minus-squareautriyo@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·24 days agoThey’ve also done stuff like that with physical sims too. Obviously they couldn’t prevent you from taking out the sim card, but carrier locking has been/is a thing. And there’s been times where x phone was only available with y carrier for a while.
