The e-SIM cards will appear, and traditional SIM cards will  no longer exist? The two companies  Apple and Samsung are in discussion with mobile carriers with the purpose to create virtual SIM.

Then, users may no longer need to swap the SIMs to switch phones, all they have to do is just interface on the device. This will be easier for the end users. This e-SIM, unlike traditional SIM cards, will allow smartphone, tablet or smartwatch users  to switch the SIM freely between networks.

GSMA CEO, Anne Bouverot, states in the report,”We have got everyone one one point, with Apple and Samsung agreeing to be part of that specification. We have been working with them and others to create an industry solution for machines and will agree a solution for consumer electronics.”

Operators expected to give their backing to the initiative include AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Hutchison Whampoa, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone.

As we can see that this is the remarkable step of Apple and Samsung to create the dominant change  in recent technology generation. It can be seen that virtual SIM can make it easier for not need to switch SIMs and carriers. However, there is a concern whether current SIM card will fit on a specific phone and the upgrades seem to be built-in and unremovable.

It’s reported that the new SIM solution is unlikely to arrive in devices until 2016. Let’s wait what the two giant tech of Apple and Samsung brand will bring to us. Hoping this will be the promising and optimistic mark for technology users.
