The ESIM are SIM virtual cardsthat is, your operator's physical card, but in digital format, which allows you to use your iPhone or Android without having anything in it, and yet to obtain a phone number, data, receive calls, etc.
It has its advantages and disadvantages, although we will leave that for another topic, although in Spain there are operators compatible with Esim that you can use. However, if you had one on your iPhone, and you wanted to pass it to Android, you couldn't, and you should ask the operator. This could change with iOS 19.
Pass ESIM from iPhone to Android with iOS 19
Although it is still early for confirmations, because iOS 19 has not even come out in beta format, there is a filtration and rumor that suggests that this can be done very soon, with the exit of the new operating system.
The function, called “transfer to Android”, would be integrated into section “Transfer or restore iPhone»Within the configuration application. In addition, the option of using a QR code as a backup is contemplated in case the wireless transfer fails, which would serve both for a type of telephone brand and another (even at a distance).
This advance was found in the Android 16 beta code, within the Google Sim manager, which implies that there could be some collaboration between Apple and Google to improve compatibility between its systems. Apple is expected to give More details about this function during WWDC 2025although it could omit it for now, waiting for user feedback, since, in addition, it is not so important of the system, but a useful tool for telephone change.
The conference will take place from June 9, at all could be announced, and where we will see some iOS 19, which, weeks later, we can already have in beta format within our iPhone, although it is not recommended on your main mobile, and where all this may not arrive, at least in the first versions, because there are many that will launch throughout the summer, correcting failures and adding more tools.
And you, do you think this is something fundamental? The truth is that it is rare that Someone with iPhone passes to Android Regular, which, despite having to call the operator, it would not be a big problem, although we understand that it is intended, above all, for terminals that stop working correctly, and, by emergency, getting an old Android is something more feasible, so we could continue using the line while we acquire a new iPhone or stay in this other system if you end up convincing us more.
Leave us a comment on the use of the ESIM, if you have ever tried them, if you currently have it, and if you think you will end up using this function, or it is something little useful and they would have to have focused on improving other aspects.
