The iPhone has long been a leader in the smartphone market, and now it’s taking another step forward with the introduction of dual eSIMs. This new feature allows users to have two separate phone numbers on the same device, making it easier to manage multiple phone lines and accounts.
The dual eSIM feature is available on the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, and it’s a great way to stay connected without having to carry two phones. With dual eSIMs, you can have two separate phone numbers on the same device, allowing you to easily switch between them. This is especially useful for people who need to manage multiple phone lines, such as business owners or people who travel frequently.
The dual eSIM feature is also great for people who want to keep their personal and work lives separate. With dual eSIMs, you can have one phone number for work and another for personal use, making it easier to manage both. You can also use dual eSIMs to keep your work and personal contacts separate, so you don’t have to worry about mixing them up.
The dual eSIM feature is also great for people who travel frequently. With dual eSIMs, you can easily switch between different carriers in different countries, allowing you to stay connected no matter where you are. This is especially useful for people who travel for business, as they can easily switch between different carriers to get the best coverage and rates.
Overall, the dual eSIM feature is a great addition to the iPhone, and it’s sure to be a hit with users. It makes it easier to manage multiple phone lines and accounts, and it’s great for people who travel frequently. If you’re looking for a way to stay connected without having to carry two phones, the dual eSIM feature is definitely worth considering.
Congratulations on your first post in r/opsec! OPSEC is a mindset and thought process, not a single solution — meaning, when asking a question it’s a good idea to word it in a way that allows others to teach you the mindset rather than a single solution.
Here’s an example of a bad question that is far too vague to explain the threat model first:
> I want to stay safe on the internet. Which browser should I use?
Here’s an example of a good question that explains the threat model without giving too much private information:
> I don’t want to have anyone find my home address on the internet while I use it. Will using a particular browser help me?
Here’s a bad answer (it depends on trusting that user entirely and doesn’t help you learn anything on your own) that you should report immediately:
> You should use X browser because it is the most secure.
Here’s a good answer to explains why it’s good for your specific threat model and also teaches the mindset of OPSEC:
> Y browser has a function that warns you from accidentally sharing your home address on forms, but ultimately this is up to you to control by being vigilant and no single tool or solution will ever be a silver bullet for security. If you follow this, technically you can use any browser!
If you see anyone offering advice that doesn’t feel like it is giving you the tools to make your *own* decisions and rather pushing you to a specific tool as a solution, feel free to report them. Giving advice in the form of a “silver bullet solution” is a bannable offense.

Easy, don’t get pickpocketed.
I’ve seen people have chains attached to their phone case so you literally can’t steal it. Maybe try that.
How do you manage to lock and unlock eSIMs, is this an iOS feature?
And when you say iCloud is locked you mean disabled on that iPhone?
As for threat model, “criminals of that type” would also include kidnapping or held at gunpoint to surrender information? (Seeing as you may have a lot of financial apps on your phone).
