They should of just kept the sim card in it

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

There are two main benefits to not keeping a physical sim card. 1. It pretty much makes it useless if someone steals your phone - In the past, they'd immediately pop out your sim, put a new one in, put it on a new carrier and boom, your phone is stolen. This can't be done anymore 2. It's super easy, when in another country, to get minutes/text/data added to your esim, so that you don't have to pay super expensive roaming charges esim, without a doubt, is the way to go. Now if only I could get my working! It's Christmas day on a Sunday, these suggestions didn't work for me and AT&T is closed. Grrrrr!!!

[@techgirl4491]

Fr like I’m going through hell with this set up 😭

[@VELLYYYWRLD]

nah fr

[@orangeie]

​@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 What if you visit to an another country and need to use a sim from that country?

[@DCRTAl-ym5nq]

Canada sells the 14promax with a sim card slot just like the older ones

[@nelsonjiang2911]

Will this be the same process for phones that use T-Mobile?

[@StrayWayy]

I’m sure I’ll figure this out before getting a response but what about pictures and videos I have saved on my old phone ?

[@123saycheese]

I a prepaid plan. This process currently errors out. Waiting at the Verizon store right now.

[@projectnumba9]

What if my old iPhone is on 15.7? Will it work still?

[@malcomk]

apple should hire you

[@chryssecg4625]

Can we registered a new sim number and Apple ID to that old phone?

[@etherlords88]

What if I wanted to do that from Samsung to iPhone?

[@jessicaubl7195]

Does this still work if the iPhone 14 is locked to previous carrier?

[@ronalipradhan8008]

very useful video, thanks a lot

[@ShisuiHack]

5:08. Then how will you transfer back to old iPhone when you damaged iPhone 14/fell into sink or pool?

[@LaylaAsmr]

The point is that the iPhone is old and doesn’t go up to iOS 16. What are we meant to do then??

[@korylaehu6467]

Great video!

[@ryancam5922]

Thanks so much

[@b4db0y]

Do you transfer data/photos prior to this?

[@Dashikardashian]

Does the phone have to be paid off?

[@illybo]

I have a question. When I go to Europe in a Summer and buy a sim there that I like to use can you switch back and forth sim's ?. Sometimes bank send a code, or i like to check my text messages on American number, I use to change sim cards how would I do that now with e sim? Thank You

[@lindastewart7825]

I am in the uk and our iphone 14s have dual sims. If I transfer using the physical sim can I still put it back in the old phone?

[@reindonato6126]

Would this be applicable for Sims that are from other countries?

[@nomadcess]

Can I use Iphone 14 pro max without a sim if i choose not to activate the esim?

[@ASmith-vl2km]

Sounds like there is no way to reverse the process. 👎🏽 Don't like being locked into an eSIM only option because I have multiple phones and they are not all eSIM compliant 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@TinkaFaith]

Same here… I own several devices!

[@forsid20]

I am trying to transfer sim from iPhone 11 to eSIM on iPhone 15, and it’s giving error- “Sim in your old iPhone does not support eSIM transfer.” How can I transfer in this case?

[@GraceStaubli]

i am having the same problem did you fix it?

[@johnhassen6191]

Dude you are the man, I have been going through trying to figure out why this thing wasn’t transferring for like an hour until I found your video and realized my old phone didn’t have a passcode set up and that was what was stopping it. Thank you very very much!

[@meatballfreak6567]

Wym by passcode like a passcode to unlock your phone?

[@TommyCA-US]

Thank you. Your video has the easiest and clearest process how to activate eSIM on the new iphone 14. 👍 Thanks once again!

[@abdulnasser6995]

That was very helpful because I’m getting the new iPhone 14 Pro Max And I was thinking about calling my carrier thanks for the video👍

[@marcusa.7848]

If you can't transfer it from the phone. Try calling your carrier.

[@familyali795]

Does anyone know if I can switch from physical to eSIM but to a different provider because my current provider dosent have eSIM yet

[@Wdghitta]

Wat if yo old phone broke ..

[@playboizul]

I need to know. I’m in the same boat

[@Superlonley]

Same

[@playboizul]

@@Superlonley ok i have an answer. as long as if you have the sim card, everything should transfer IF everything is saved into the iCloud then if not the only thing that will transfer over is your phone number. and if on a good note that you have everything backed up, yet your phone broke or won’t shut on, it won’t be an issue with the text message code. i’d say you’re in real trouble if you’re trying to get the 15 pros or pro maxes since they don’t have sim trays.

[@protran]

Can you transfer esim from iphone 14 back to physical sim?

[@PM2024-]

Who has two phones????????? I traded in my 13pro. Now I’ve got the 14pro. I’m flying to Malaysia next month 😅Malaysia DOES NOT OFFER E SIMS TO SHORT TERM VISITORS 😂 neither does Thailand or Vietnam. So American travelers are screwed!

[@RougeTheGato]

What do you do if the old phone doesn’t support iOS 16

[@donnie6758]

Incredible video! I found it to be super informative as well as very easy. I actually thought I would have a much harder time accomplishing it and you made it super easy Peezy for me. Thank you.

How to transfer samsung note 20 ultra with sim card to iPhone 14 pro max

[@offtothenextadventure]

Straight to the point video! That is what we all need. Thank you. i have a question on the Delete Esim function. When you delete the Esim, does it cancel your line from the carrier? Also, what happens if you deleted your Esim by accident?

[@Marcstang04]

Can you please do a video on how to transfer a sim from Samsung to iPhone 14 and how to transfer back to Samsung?

[@ghiga3858]

Interested as well.

[@monicamccarthy3932]

Unfortunately, this did not go so smoothly for me. I had to spend an hour on a phone call with AT&T to transfer from my 13 pro max physical sim to 14 pro max esim. I tried the transfer exactly as shown in the video, but the new phone kept giving a message, "unable to activate, contact AT&T". Thanks Apple for wasting my time!!

[@ckchris6459]

Was that because your previous phone was LTE?

[@monicamccarthy3932]

@@ckchris6459 I think all phones are LTE. My previous phone is the 13 Pro Max unlocked.

[@williampolio7021]

So what happen at the end?

[@vanity105]

pls tell me how to fix this

[@ckchris6459]

@@vanity105 go to ur cell carrier

[@HeyNickJ]

I think that was a great video! The only piece of feedback on the offer would be too sure how much simpler it is with quick transfer if the Carrier supports it while doing the initial iPhone data transfer.

[@Macy-bj6xh]

Does that mean that if it doesn't allow you to transfer while setting the new iphone up that I can do it after its set up and logged in? It says that the number wont transfer during the initial set up of the new iphone, but it will once its logged in and I go to the settings on the new iphone?

[@HeyNickJ]

@@Macy-bj6xh yes. Once iPhone set up go to settings > cellular > add eSIM. May have to go to your carriers website

[@ainsley1114]

They kept making the SIM card smaller until it disappeared, nice trick!

[@TitusTr2]

I speak to Apple and T-mobile they just confused me but you video was great 👍🏻 thanks

[@Wockstar._sha]

It says the sim on your old phone doesn’t support eSIM what do I do I need help

I have an iPhone 12 pro max and just got the 14 pro max. I do this and on my new phone says "This phone number can't be transferred because your account is ineligible."

[@brysonlikestoskate]

same haven't figured this out yet. driving me nuts

[@mcchupka9718]

Thanks. I can only hope my transfer goes that smoothly.

[@mcchupka9718]

It was actually very simple and trouble free! No problem!

[@wahidrahmatzada5495]

What if you dont have another phonr and just buy a sim?

[@atan0725]

That's the info that i've been looking for. Now i am ready to upgrade my iPhone X to 14. Thank you for the informative video.

[@leonardcohen240]

Did it go smooth? keep reading comments saying it wasn’t so easy. Also looking to upgrade from the X

[@atan0725]

It goes smooth but not as smooth as what he showed in his video coz my network provider is Mint Mobile. So i need to access their app and order their esim for free using my same number. So now i am on esim. Phone setup is really smooth. Everything complete in less than an hour depending on your saved apps/files.

[@leonardcohen240]

@ARL McTan thanks for the reply! mine was pretty seamless i have at&t. My iphone x was not updated to ios 16 but it still transferred my sim to esim on my new 14

[@ThatGuyAlon]

@@atan0725how do you like Mint mobile? I was thinking about switching to them when I buy a iPhone 14

Using mint since 2019. No problem with Mint

Thank you!! This saved me a trip to the ATT store!

[@sherrym4300]

Can you transfer minutes from a physical sim to an Esim? I have a prepaid service, Tracfone, to be exact. No one else can seem to do it. I purchased an iPhone 14 pro and had to take it back because no one could do it? It has been said that until all the prepaid services get on board with the esim, we won't be able to do it. I have a couple years of prepaid time. I can't lose it.

[@crazygaming3941]

If i have a carrier-locked verizon physical sim and put it into the unlocked iphone, can i still transfer it over to my verizon 14 pro max?

[@kimakysin21]

what if i wanna do the same from s22 ultra to iPhone 14???

[@vDystinc777]

Would this work with my old iphone X to my new iphone 15 pro work even if the x is up to date?.

[@ingee8]

I have the Samsung S22 Ultra. I am using the Samsung message app to send text messages. When I send a text message to someone I get the visual notification, "Delivered" under the text message, to let me know, the message was delivered. But at the same time I also get an audio sound WITH the visual notification to let me know the text was sent. I get the sound that is the default sound that is under the “sounds and vibration under the “notification sound”. I do NOT want to get an audio sound after I send the text message. I only want to see the visual notification, "Delivered", to let me know, the message was delivered. How do I stop the audio sound, when I send text messages? I also disabled the option “hear outgoing message sounds” under the general settings.

[@vararii3068]

Is it possible to get the eSim transferred back into the psychical or is the psychical one useless once it gets transferred out?

[@elsierra9741]

It will be useless

[@eelias5605]

@sakitech or Anyone, does anyone knows if this would work from a foreign carrier that does NOT support e-sims, and I have their physical sim that I want to convert to an e-sim in the new iPhone 14?

[@theaztecwarrior4u]

Does this work across carriers? For example, if I have AT&T service on an iPhone 11 can I buy a T-Mobile iPhone 14 and do this process?

[@jama24581]

Straight to the point and informative. Thank you so much!

[@aditiraulia5417]

Thanks! What if you’re travelling internationally? Specifically to India… how would I use a SIM card? Do they also have E-sim available?

[@bragaanderson]

Hello I would like to know if you have video review 2 eSIM working on daily… like have one for business & another one personal… I have 2 iPhone but wanna see if I can using only one iPhone for both line…. Can you help me on that?

[@bragaanderson]

@IsaHaliru-uw1ze sorry I didn’t understand what you mean…

[@XYRN02]

So if I transfer the # back to original phone, will it be as an esim or will I need the SIM card or a SIM card…?

[@russ4j]

Hey Tim Cook. If your people haven't told you , it's stupid to remove the sim card slot on the iPhone. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!😎

[@aurylgcy]

Nice video, Ty!! But you didn’t blur ur number @5:26.

[@illyyldn2118]

When I transfer it to the iPhone 14 can I take the sim out of the old phone and would it still be active on the iPhone 14

[@thesaurness2616]

Excellent video. Is it necessary for the 2 iPhones to be logged in to the same Apple account?

[@willcatalan1705]

So what would happen once you transfer the sim information over to the Esim phone and you remove the sim from the old phone and you want to transfer back to the old phone do you still need the sim you removed or Does it convert into Esim? Also does all your content from your old phone to the new one like texts, pictures and any other stuff you have on it?

[@sodentsodmg7876]

i will like to kno how this go also

[@CarboyJt]

wait what if the other phone is broken.

[@CJ2315]

So set up the new phone normally, then go into settings after the set up is done to do cellular?

[@John-vf4so]

This cellular setup process should come up during the initial setup of your new phone.

[@tryhard3244]

What if I have an Android?

[@danielboriesa2377]

Mine doesn’t say cellular how do I fix fam

[@Delorean90]

What step should be taken first? Data transfer or esim transfer?

[@GlockJ]

If ur old phone is 4G and ur new one is 5G and u do this will I still have 5g on my new phone or will it be 4g cause I transferred it from a 4 g phone

[@tropjot6011]

What if the Bluetooth doesn’t turn on nor the wifi

[@johnholmes264]

I assume if you're trading in your phone, you do the esim transfer first before removing all data from your old phone?

[@richardperez5039]

Probably the dumbest thing apple has done tbh

[@rainbowxwolf]

So I just got an iPhone 14 and I have old iPhone 8 Plus. I did this exact setup you did, but everyone time I did this a connection failed error the connection to this server was lost error.

[@adraticofficial]

Can I do this with my iPhone 8?

[@joed8016]

Great explanation!! Did not even think of this or know about new e sim. My question is tho, what order do u do the steps. Transfer pics and such first or do the sim transfer first? Will it prompt me to do one first?

[@jvvaldivia7831]

What if I can’t download ios 16 on my current phone? Will i be able to transfer data?

[@Xanduur]

So you can never use the SIM card again. It’s permanently converted to an eSIM. YUCK.

[@tkin86]

Does this mean mi IPhone 13 Pro Max can be doul sim ? ( I can have to phone numbers in my same phone ?)

[@Jjabox1ng21]

Wow thats easy. I was hesitant to upgrade my XS max to 14 pro max because of the eSIM.
