I just used the eSIM feature in the iPhone XS for the first time. Setup was super easy. I downloaded the T-Mobile app, walked through the prompts, purchased a pre-paid plan, and it just works. Kudos to the Apple engineers that worked on the feature.

I don’t often listen to Jay-Z, but when I do it’s with a healthy dose of The Beatles.
