Is it possible to transfer the activated e-sim service from one device to another through an iphone backup? Saw applecare replaced my phone which has esim, will the service get transferred to another phone or do I have to go through the activation process.
Got a tip for us?

A New QR Code for each activated provider. Isn't that a hassle. Every year new phones come out and if we want to upgrade this QR Code for every provider is going to be a deterrent.
Why couldn't apple leave the activation down to the apple id? I guess that isn't then called "secure" ?
The implementation process is left to the carrier. The carriers will eventually charge for eSIM activations similar to the way they currently charge for SIM cards.
So in short if Genius decides to replace the device with esim the service will have to be reactivated. Surely a good move on apple's part as this is a painful process if you have multiple services tied to your esim
