Swapping eSIMs between Phones

Today, for fun, and out of curiousity I swapped eSIMS between two phones. If you’re old enough, you remember that swapping physical sims required turning it off and on again. it being both phones. Today, with eSIMS the process has been simplified since the last time I tried.

Today if you want to transfer an eSIM from phone to phone you simply go to Add eSIM on the destination phone and choose “Transfer from Nearby iPhone” and that’s almost it. You then need to select which sim you want to migrate, and then type in the username and password for your Swisscom account if you’re migrating from Swisscom or Wingo, or Galaxus if you’re migrating from those operators.
