Apple iPhones are among the few smartphones that support eSIM functionality. The eSIM technology, which is basically a virtual SIM card, was introduced by the company in 2018 to allow users to use mobile connectivity without having to insert a physical card into the device.
It is also possible to transfer a SIM card from one iPhone to another if the user switches devices. While the feature was already available, with the latest iOS 16, Apple is making it possible to transfer eSIM between devices via Bluetooth instead of relying on Wi-Fi or other methods.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to quickly and easily transfer an eSIM card from one Apple iPhone to another with the new iOS 16 operating system.
How to transfer eSIM between Apple iPhones with iOS 16
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your Apple iPhone.
Step 2: When the app opens, tap the "Mobile" option.
Step 3: There, tap the “Set Up E-SIM” button above the Cellular Data section.
Step 4: After that, tap on the "Transfer from another iPhone" option.
That is it. After making the selection to transfer the eSIM from another iPhone, you will get a message that says "to transfer a phone number from another iPhone, make sure your other iPhone is secured with a password, is nearby, unlocked, has Bluetooth turned on, and is running iOS 16 or later.” After checking what the message says, follow the on-screen instructions to transfer the eSIM card from one Apple iPhone to another iPhone successfully.
