Thankfully, Google isn't copying Apple's dumb SIM strategy (www.androidauthority.com)

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.

I find it absolutely hilarious that for so many years people complained about needing to go through extra steps to swap a phone on CDMA carriers in the US like Verizon and Sprint, instead of just swapping a SIM... yet eSIMs are so popular now which require similar steps.
