So I know the new iPhone X has the new eSIM and as a result you can't easily switch phones by just swapping out a normal SIM card like before. My question is how do you disassociate a phone number or account from these new iPhones?

Most phones come with a sim now. So just activate the new sim to your number. After that the old one no longer works
Yes but from my understanding the new iPhone has an electronic SIM and as a result I don't think they have a SIM door and an easily switchable card like most other phones, unfortunately.

it does have a sim door. you can see it on the technical drawing. panic over.
The iPhone X has a conventional nano SIM, the same ones that are used by most current phones. It's right there in the spec sheet.

That's so true didn't think about that. So I'm sure they'll have to do it. Either in person or customer service
They still have a sim door and process can be exactly the same as before. You don't have to use eSim.
Oh wow. I could have sworn i read somewhere that it and the new watch both had the eSIM. Well cool. So it'll function just like any other iPhone wherein you can just remove the SIM and put in a different one from a different carrier (if desired)?
The samsung watches have e - sim so you have to have Service for it. You can use bluetooth on current service or use it as it's own stand alone service
Oh I didn't know that. How do you cancel the eSim and make the iPad use an inserted Sim car?
For gifting purposes. Or international if the person wants to use it abroad I suppose.
