Switching to iPhone from iPhone isn’t as bad, but switching from iPhone to Android and back you’ll need to do it on the website (TMOBILE) enter the IMEI and EID. When it works it’s not as bad, but when it doesn’t. You possibly could lose your number. It happened to me took them 8 days to get resolved. It was not a fun experience, not planning to switch to any of my Android phones for now. I might just end up selling them or the iPhone 14.

This is my concern, I regularly switch between my devices every week or 2, I realise I am an edge case but it does feel like that it is going to be taken away in the near future. Now apple have started down this route everybody is bound to follow.

Now if they mordenised how Sims work e.g. one sim able to work across more than one device then it could work.

I randomly switch between devices every few days 😂 yeah I know I have problems. I have switched to the following devices (S22U, Zflip 4 and Pixel 6a) after getting the iPhone 14 with no issues. Those were done within a few days.
I switched to the Pixel 6a to try out my new Pixel buds pro to run an update. The Pixel 6a battery was draining too much so I decided to switch back to the iPhone 14 the same day. That might have caused my problem, I’m guessing it’s too short of a time with each device that caused an issue with T-Mobile activation server.

It's those poor starving tech YouTubers I feel sorry for!

Yeah, same here that’s how they make content trying out different phones. I do think that’s where everyone is heading ESim only. Who do you have as a carrier?

I'm in the UK on smarty (three network) they don't even offer esim yet.

I think in the UK at least we have another couple of years before it becomes an issue.
