Anyone else noticed this recent rumour about forth coming iPhones

 

If the physical SIM has had its day and Apple, as they have a habit of doing, are the first to ditch it then I can't see any Telco refusing to offer support without risking losing current customers and new ones.

 

I know this won't spin into the Watch but it would be nice to get some other features that New Zealand hasn't had since the dawn of the iPhone (visual voice mail? FFS...)

 

I've given up on Kiwi Bank every offering Apple Pay. Why do I stay with them I'll never know...

This thread is all over the place...

 

1) Spark offer both eSim and also a pretty good Visual Voicemail implementation.
2) 2degrees and Vodafone have both stated they're going to have eSim available soon.
3) Why the dig towards Apple Pay? This is a whole other complex beast that banks just simply can't offer overnight, their core have to support card tokenization for a start, just go with a bank that works for your needs. This is off-topic right from the very start anyway.

 

The MNVO's will likely follow suit if there is a drive towards eSim. I've personally got my work number as an eSim on my iPhone through Spark with 2degrees being my personal provider. Just like everything quoted (including the Apple Pay dig) it isn't a "if" it'll happen but instead a "when" it'll happen. Patience folks.
