For the past couple of years, I’ve been all about eSIMs. No more fiddling with SIM trays or digging through drawers looking for that tiny, ever-evasive SIM ejector tool. No more worrying about losing a SIM card in your bag, under your couch, or in that parallel dimension where socks and USB cables disappear. In 2025, eSIMs should be the default, and I was prepared to write a scathing takedown of any manufacturer still clinging to physical SIM cards. But then, life happened, specifically, my toddler happened, and my whole perspective shifted faster than you can say “ninth-floor balcony.”
