Google is also thinking of starting to make it easier to use eSIM on more devices and getting rid of physical chips.
Google is working on a feature in Android 13 that could be a game changer for people who use two SIM cards in a single phone.
According to Esper, the new operating system is working on a feature called Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP), allowing two carrier profiles to be assigned on a single eSIM.
Google is reportedly basing the new feature on a patent filed in 2020, which describes a splitting of the existing SIM interface into two digital connections.
Goodbye to the physical chip?
eSIMs are virtual cards that can be activated over Wi-Fi networks. By not working with a physical chip, they would allow manufacturers to get rid of this slot and take advantage of the space for other components such as a larger battery.
Because of this, more and more manufacturers may be interested in getting rid of the SIM card slot entirely, thus allowing a larger battery or the return of microSD cards.
According to rumors, Apple is working on its own team with this feature.
Although the source believes that the feature will debut with Android 13, it is not actually intrinsic to Android. It can be implemented on iOS and even on Windows.
