That’s great! Did you choose the ESR’s clear case or the genuine Apple one? Are you still planning to trade in the iPhone 13 in-store or order it online?White color. Clear case.

Congratulations on ordering your new iPhone 16e! Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up your eSIM using the quick transfer method:I have placed the order for the 16e and have the case already. I ordered it online and it'll be here Friday.
Transfer eSIM: During the setup, when you reach the "Set Up Cellular" screen, select "Transfer from Nearby iPhone." Ensure your current iPhone with an active eSIM is nearby and unlocked. It must be logged in to the same Apple ID and has the eSIM or SIM card in it.
Confirmation on Old iPhone: A prompt will appear on your old iPhone asking if you want to transfer your eSIM. Confirm by selecting "Transfer" on your old device.
Complete Transfer: Wait for the transfer process to complete. Your new iPhone 16e will notify you once the eSIM has been successfully transferred.
If you're in the U.S. and are willing to pay a relatively little bit more for an iPhone 16e from an Apple Store in Canada, and have a way to have it shipped to you in the U.S., then you don't have to deal with the eSIM hassle because iPhone 16e models sold outside the U.S. have SIM card slots.
Tim Crook got rid of SIM card slots on all current iPhones sold in the U.S. so Apple can save money on manufactring, while also not passing those savings on to customers, in order to maximize profits.
Hey, I realized I forgot to mention that even though the OP converted his physical SIM to an eSIM over the phone, he still needs to use other methods to set it up. He might need to call the carrier, get a QR code, or receive a push notification from the carrier app. I’ll update the response to reflect the specific setup for non-major carriers.That only works with select carriers. MVNOs usually don't support eSIM Quick Transfer.

I already have it transferred to ESim, but that had been on my mind. I do think the whole concept of an ESim is stupid as it's more about maximizing control over the customers to maximize profits.
Welcome to 2025. 😉I already ordered the new case for the iphone 16e. I will give updates when I have the phone, but it feels like the end of an era for me really. Switching away from a Sim card I had from my very first phone (Iphone 6 or Iphone 6s) from way back in the day to an eSim is a pretty huge deal for me. While some people may not like the 16e - I don't care. I got what is going to make me happy and that is what matters.
DisregardAh, that's a pretty big turn off for me. I don't want to deal with Apps, accounts, etc.
Great! You are off on a newer and safer adventure. Enjoy your new phone.@TgeekB @goldmac2006
Everything has been transferred to the 16e and the 13 has been put in the trade in kit. I will ship it out as soon as possible. So there ends this saga.
It was a bit emotional putting that nice looking dark green 13 into its cradle for the trade in and seeing it for the last time. I am sure that it will have a continued life elsewhere, but it had to be done. The 16e has features that could very well prove to be lifesaving like Satellite SOS and crash detection which is why I got this phone to begin with.
Attached below is the first time seeing the new phone, and the last time seeing the old one.
Hey friend! Congrats on your new iPhone 16e! Before you reset it, make sure everything is transferred properly. Throw out the old SIM card from your old iPhone 13. You can also turn off Find My iPhone on it in the Reset iPhone Assistant. To make sure it arrives safely, add a layer of bubble wrap to it before mailing it back to Apple.@TgeekB @goldmac2006

The case is your standard case. I shipped the Iphone13 out yesterday and had it completely wiped, transferred over. Has been a complete success.Hey friend! Congrats on your new iPhone 16e!

I know you’ll miss the cameras, but the faster experience on the 16e will be worth it! What does the case look like?
I’m thrilled to hear that you successfully transferred your 16e, set up an eSIM, and used your iPhone 16 in the way you planned! Since you upgraded to a sim-free iPhone through Apple Trade In, the trade-in credit for your iPhone 13 will take a few weeks to a month to process, including mailing and shipping times. Apple should send you an email updating you with the trade-in credit. If your iPhone is already reset properly and free of significant physical damage, the full trade-in credit listed on the Apple website should be refunded through your Apple Store balance, an Apple gift card (e-card if done digitally), or your credit card used to purchase the iPhone once it’s processed. You should receive another email from Apple finalizing the transaction once it’s complete.The case is your standard case. I shipped the Iphone13 out yesterday and had it completely wiped, transferred over. Has been a complete success.
