Not lucky, just part of the majority. As with most of these issues, it is happening to a small amount of people but those looking to go wild act like its widespread.
Yeah, getting out that SIM card tool is a hassle. Do you keep yours in the attic, too? 😂
Last time I tried to use eSIM, it was one error message after another and lots on time on chat support with the carrier.
Since your post was worded as "in general" I'd say it would take most people less time to swap SIM cards than figure out how to work an eSIM transfer.
One of Steve's most famous email replies. An instant classic.Oh man here we go again! Free bumper cases anyone?
Verizon 14 Pro here, works better than it did before. I live in a low service area where calls are always dropped. Haven’t experienced it on the new phone, pleasantly surprised.
Some people don't understand the word opinion anymore. Everyone has one. Just because you prefer something a certain way, doesn't mean everyone does. That is ok.
At no time, did I say it was a general response or for the majority. I just stated my personal opinion.
This confirms my strategy of never buying a new iPhone until the following year. If you are in no desperate need to upgrade and you can wait 6 months, sometimes it’s best to wait. I remember purchasing my iPhone X in March of 2018. That was six months after launch. By then most of the kinks in manufacturing and software bugs would have been ironed. I expect the same for the iPhone 15 and will likely wait until spring of 2024.
This. Any company is going to notice you not getting the job done and they are going to be even more looking for it if you aren’t in the office.
I think the problems coming from Apple right now are more from management who presumably are in the office. Or are immune to the whole question anyway.
I am shocked more people don’t quote Apple’s “evil bosses” ad. Guess the ad firm was working from home and didn’t get the memo.
You actually can do this in less than 30 seconds. Download T-Mobile app from App Store, enter your email address and set a password, and activate 90 day trial. It would probably take you longer to find a SIM removal tool. The people complaining about the move to eSIM just don’t know what they don’t know.
No problems here with my iPhone 14 Pro Max on T-Mobile in NE Ohio area or with the new AirPods Pro 2 so far. Hopefully those with issues will get them resolved with the next iOS update or an update through Verizon.
Just did a test while at work and seems to be similar speeds as with the iPhone 12 Pro Max I replaced.

Day one upgrader every year for 15 years. It has never been this bad. Those people would be wrong.
Are you one of those people who wear a SIM removal tool around your neck? For everyone else, it’s a bit of a hassle, especially when compared to eSIM. Forgot to mention, once you install a new eSIM, switching between them is done in under 5 seconds – beat that.
We had a power outage here the 17th or 18th, and I was surprised I had no data on my 14pro. But my iPhone 12 for work on Verizon was pulling data normally with more bars. Hopefully it’s fixed soon with a firmware update.
Huh? eSIM or physical SIM either work or they don't. I don't think it would impact the cellular signal strength.
iPhone 14 Pro Max - have both an AT&T & Verizon Line on phone. Was having problems first few days were randomly would get errors that phone wasn't connected to Internet so couldn't access anything - even Maps wouldn't connect. Finally did a network reset and thus far seems to have cleared up the previous problems.
Agreed. This has been a thing for ages. I remember back when the 2013 rMBP came out 2013 trash can Mac Pro and people were talking NEVER ORDER A REV A PRODUCT!!!!
But yes it’s just now there are issues due to WFH /s.
30 seconds huh?
With Verizon service so bad, you can't even download the T-Mobile app in that amount of time.
Hows it a bit of a hassle? You dont have to use a sim removal tool. You can use a paperclip, push pin, staple, nail etc. Or are those a hassle to get too?
Man, what’s going on with those teams at Apple, they are surely unhappy giving such shoddy work..maybe something to do with taking away telework days? Not sure, but they shouldn’t let quality slip like that.
Not just Verizon. I'm on AT&T. My 13PM gave me better 5G/wifi. Been annoying with 14PM. Have noticed on spots I had awesome speeds with 13PM now slow/bad with the 14PM. I believe its esim issues.
I said it before but I honestly think Apple cannot focus on more than one thing at a time which means I’m not looking forward to VR/AR and the car. Macs are finally FINALLY back to being great. I never ordered three macs as fast as I ordered them this past two years with the M1, M1 Max and M1 Ultra. Apple let the ball drop with macs SO BAD I started to despise them. Bad keyboards on the laptops, not a fan of iMacs. As much as the PR and legal teams allowed, they apologized for the state of the Mac and we got the iMac Pro and 2019 Mac Pro as a result. Too much focus was on iPhone at the time it seems. And now that macs are getting A LOT of attention again, iPhones seem to be slipping.
It's actually FAR easier to do this without the SIM card now. You don't even need to find one, you can simply sign up and you're done.
