Apple has forced its US users to switch to eSIMs without any real benefit. Google, on the other hand, has kept the tried and true SIM slot.

Without real benefit? How about some thief can’t steal my phone and pop out the SIM? How about transferring carriers without needing to wait to get my hands on the new SIM card?
Sure eSIMS have their own cons but reporting like they are a pure downgrade is disingenuous.
International travel practically requires a SIM slot. Buy a $40 prepaid SIM and pop it in your phone, or pay hundreds of dollars for international roaming?
What are you talking about? eSIMs are better for traveling because you can just preload an international eSIM and you’ll have access the second you land.
Third world countries don’t always have eSIM.
Google still support e-sim you know. It’s not about sim vs e-sim.
I’m specifically countering the blurb OP pulled from the article that says esims have no real benefit.
Users cherrypicking to pursue a narrative?
Sounds like reddit has arrived
I like esim(s) for the sole feature that “some thief can’t steal my phone and pop out the SIM” and find my device allows me to lock or erase my data on the phone. Current state of esim implementation by carriers doesn’t inspire such confidence. So not going esim only, looks to be the better option for now.
