SIM cards? what is this, 2014?

not every phone has this “esim” black magic witchcraft in it today. i got my phone in 2024, and i’ve got a sim card, the way it should be. esim supporters should be burned at the stake for their heresy!

...

i’m kidding, of couse. i don’t support burnings anymore!

Functionally, AFAIK there’s nothing really stopping older devices from being updated to use e-sim. They work just fine for emergency service calls, the little chip doesn’t matter that much to the underlying hardware
