什么是eSIM?它与普通实体SIM卡有何不同?

eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a type of SIM embedded directly into a device instead of using a physical SIM card as before. Rather than inserting a SIM card into a device, eSIM is integrated directly into the motherboard of phones, smartwatches, tablets, or IoT (Internet of Things) devices. This technology was developed to replace physical SIM cards, offering greater convenience and flexibility for users.
