Buy Apple, forget mobile

created on 29.1.2018

Apple has not only redesigned the iPhone this year, it has also made it redundant. With the eSIM compatibility of the new Apple Watches and iPads, you can safely forget your phone at home.

With the small revolution, away from the big revolution, Apple is declaring war on the physical object of the SIM card. This is because devices, especially those in the Internet of Things, are becoming ever smaller and more delicate. There is no longer any room for a bulky card. Hence the eSIM. The eSIM is the same as the tried-and-tested SIM card, just without the physical card. The software tells your device who you are and what your phone number is without having to insert a card.

How do you get an eSIM? Simple: Just call your provider and you can connect your Apple Watch and iPad to the Internet independently of your iPhone or a wireless network. If you don't want to call, you can check out the information on the topic of eSIM on the following providers' sites .

The phone on your wrist

The Apple Watch isn't just there to show you the time. If you're jogging, you can stream music on it. A clunky and slightly strange wristband with an iPhone inside? A thing of the past! In the demonstration of the Apple Watch, the Cupertino-based company demonstrated the call quality while stand-up paddling, as the watch is also water-resistant.

So if you want a little more ballastlessness in your life, whether you're doing sport, on a hike or surfing in the roaring waters of the Limmat, then this is the watch for you. Or on your wrist, because wearing a watch on your heart is not ideal for all the fitness functions of the Apple Watch.

The independent tablet

Tablets, especially the iPad, have a somewhat difficult time. As soon as you're sitting in the garden or in the basement, you're done with the internet. The new iPads put an end to this, at least in the garden. You can simply exchange data via the mobile network.

On its website, Apple writes that the "post-PC world" is closer than you might think. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, but a step in that direction has been taken with the eSIM tablet.
