how-do-i-remove-esim-from-my-iphone

A device incorporates an eSIM (embedded SIM), a sort of programmable SIM card. In place of an integrated circuit that is stored on a detachable universal integrated circuit card (UICC), which is often made of PVC, an eSIM consists of software put onto an eUICC chip that is permanently attached to a device.

When an eUICC is configured with an eSIM carrier profile, it performs just like a physical SIM, complete with a unique ICCID and network authentication key generated by the carrier.

The eSIM standard has begun to replace physical SIM in a number of industries, including cellular telephony since it was first introduced in 2016.
