Thankfully, Google isn't copying Apple's dumb SIM strategy (www.androidauthority.com)

Apple has forced its US users to switch to eSIMs without any real benefit. Google, on the other hand, has kept the tried and true SIM slot.

Without real benefit? How about some thief can’t steal my phone and pop out the SIM? How about transferring carriers without needing to wait to get my hands on the new SIM card?

Sure eSIMS have their own cons but reporting like they are a pure downgrade is disingenuous.

Google still support e-sim you know. It's not about sim vs e-sim.

I’m specifically countering the blurb OP pulled from the article that says esims have no real benefit.
