How eSIMs Work, and How to Switch to One From a Standard SIM

wired.com David Nield 2025-10-13 09:00:00

The physical SIM cards we've used for decades are slowly being phased out. With the Pixel 10 series, Google's phones have gone eSIM-only for the first time—at least if you buy them in the US. Apple made the same move with the iPhone 14 in 2022, and now its new iPhone 17 models will operate with eSIMs in a dozen countries, with the slim iPhone Air going eSIM-only everywhere in the world. But how is eSIM different, and what do you need to do to switch? The good news is that by most measures, eSI

Apple’s misunderstood crossbody iPhone strap might be the best I’ve seen

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-10-13 09:05:59

The skepticism I had about Apple’s rumored crossbody iPhone strap can be put to rest now that it’s officially announced as part of yesterday’s big iPhone 17 event. I’m suitably impressed. And if we can clear up some of the confusion about why it exists in the first place, then I think more people will be too. Firstly, crossbody straps are supremely useful for those of us who are denied deep pockets and don’t want to carry a bag. It gives the person quick access to their phone on a bike, at a fe

The announcement of the iPhone Air surprised exactly nobody during today's Apple "Awe dropping" event. As we finally get officiall details about this lightweight smartphone model, one of the biggest questions is about the battery. Thin devices mean thinner batteries, so we've been curious to see how the iPhone Air will stack up. One thing we now know is that it's less beefy than standard smartphones when it comes to wireless charging. According to the tech specs provided by Apple on its website

Apple’s Best New iOS 26 Feature Has Been on Pixel Phones for Years

Ever since I was a child, I’ve despised answering the phone when an unknown number calls. Who could be on the other end? Literally anyone: an acquaintance, a telemarketer, a serial killer who’s menacingly breathing into the mouthpiece.
