What’s the future for smartphones? Handsets that don’t require physical SIM cards, according to a new report.
The Financial Times is reporting that Apple and Samsung are in “advanced talks” with major telecommunication companies and GSMA, the industry association that represents mobile operators, to standardize e-SIMs.
E-SIM technology allows for embedded SIM chips that don’t lock users to one particular network carrier, unlike the traditional SIM cards used today.
