Buy iPhone 14 International version it will be more expensive but for now it's better to have the physical sim. Or you can search for an iPhone 13 there are a lot of shop who have them

I am concurrently using the 12 Mini and Pixel 7 for work and personal. Love both the experience!

The 12 mini didn't work for me because of abysmal battery life. I've heard the 13 mini is much better in that regard.

Look at the iSheeps chatting away

Canadian iPhone 14 models have a SIM tray, and are missing the US model's 5G mmWave antenna.

If you’re going to get a new iPhone, I highly recommend doing it at the Apple Store. Unless there is an amazing deal without any catches at T-Mobile, Apple is a far, far better choice. The Specialists at Apple will help you through the buying, activation, and setup process and won’t try to upswell you anything because that’s just not Apple’s model. Even something like hardware coverage for your device will cost less at Apple. T-Mobile stores are parasites that upsell everything they can and charge more for the same hardware and services. I used to be a T-Mobile customer but never again.

Great job explaining!

I went from the 11 to the 13 mini and I really like it. I don't want to go back to a larger phone anymore, so I hope Apple will eventually go back to making smaller phones. It's not for everyone, so I suggest first holding it if you can.

If there are several common places you like to travel here is a list of all carriers globally that support eSIM. If you don’t see an eSIM-supported carrier in a country you frequent either buy your iPhone 14 outside the US, or buy a new/refurbished iPhone 13 from apple.com.

What we don't have is the 5G mmWave variant antenna, but non-US countries don't really have the hardware for mmWave anyways.

I honestly hate that they don't have a 14 mini. For just casual photos of outfits and nights out it's great, small enough to type, light, not obnoxious.

I also have pretty thin hands & good eyes so don't have any issues typing or seeing anything. Overall will upgrade my 12 mini to a 13 mini soon, and ride that for 2-3 years & see if they ever come out with another one.

It didn’t help lol. I’m trying the 16.2 beta rn. Hope it fix the problem, if not I’ll downgrade to iOS 16.0.3

I mean if you are going to upgrade I would just go ahead and get the 14 pro max.

I moved from 7S to mini. Mini is fun and fits well in pockets, but I miss the big screen. Getting older.

Haha sorry. Ride safe out there.

I have both a Verizon plan and a t-mobile plan on my 14 pro max and have not had any issues with either service. Both eSIMs were super easy to set up and have had no connectivity or reliability issues.

I’ve been using T-Mobile with e-Sim for about 4 years. First with iPhone XR, then iPhone 12 mini, and now with a 14 Pro Max. No worries, it works great!

31x38 is already hard enough to find. Last thing I need is pants harder to find than a phone that fits in ‘em.

Is eSIM support outside of the U.S. uncommon?

4K cinematic mode, Action Mode, "Crash detection"

Everything else is hardware based, that is mainly software

(You asked about iOS so I'm thinking you're talking about the software only)

Been rocking the 12 mini since launch after trading in my 11 Pro. Going to hang on to the mini for as long as possible. Perfect phone for me.

I made the upgrade from 12 ProMax to 14 ProMax without any issues. I’m on T-Mobile and the setup was seamless for me. Took less than 30 seconds to move to e-sim.

I think Huawei's market really got needed by trump. The only place they sell us where Google doesn't exist anyways, and that's their homeland. Also random fact there's a subway station named Huawei in Shenzhen

There’s a few more but that was just the one that popped into my head haha.

I’m actually really impressed that you did all of that with 11mb to spare on a 3GB plan… good for you!
