    If I don’t have a SIM card slot, how do I plan on using my phone to… oh I don’t know, use a mobile phone network?

    And how exactly will I swap between networks at will, by swapping SIMs, if I can’t swap SIMs?

    Ridiculous.

          The eSIMs in phones are reprogrammable with new “profiles”, and Android can store multiple profiles and reprogram the eSIM with whichever one you want to use. Non-programmable eSIMs are only used in embedded devices.

          Android 13 also has something called eSIM MEP that allows it to do dual SIM using a single eSIM chip.

          Edit: here’s Android documentation for developers on eSIM MEP: https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/esim-mep
