There has been more and more providers switching to e-SIM.

We invited Alex Choros, Managing Editor from Whistleout to discuss about e-SIMs and where we are headed in this space. 
Apple recently announced their Stolen Device Protection.  

Starting from iOS 17.3 and beyond, leverage Stolen Device Protection to safeguard your iPhone in the unlikely event of theft, even if the perpetrator is aware of your passcode.  We invited our in-house Apple ‘expert’ Mike Boyd to talk about this update. 

Steps below taken from the Apple website.

Go to Settings , then do one of the following:
On an iPhone with Face ID: Tap Face ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode.On an iPhone with a Home button: Tap Touch ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode.

Scroll down to the Stolen Device Protection section, then tap Turn On Protection.

Note: If you don’t see the Stolen Device Protection section, you may need to set up Face ID or Touch ID first.
