let's just say I wish to trade in my iPhone 15 for iPhone Air, then later how to install esim? because all iPhone 17 variants here comes with esim only right?
i have hotlink Postpaid physical sim in my iPhone 15, so later I need to go to nearest Maxis center to convert from physical to esim?
need to do this BEFORE or AFTER i buy iPhone Air?
i think esim is great for secondary backup telco numbers but not for main number. I prefer physical in case i wish to trade in my phone in the future.
i see why esim is such a hassle if you have it as your only number.

Since you are going to buy the new iPhone air: i have hotlink Postpaid physical sim in my iPhone 15, so later I need to go to nearest Maxis center to convert from physical to esim?

1. You can convert the current physical SIM to eSIM on iPhone 15. Just go to settings>cellulor data, click on your hotlink number and there is option to convert to eSIM. The conversion is immediate.
2. After you got the new iPhone air, finish setup the iPhone using wifi. Then go to Settings>Mobile Data>add eSIM, choose transfer from nearby phone and follow the process.
No need the hassle of going to Maxis centre to request eSIM now. Mostly people reported that for Maxis, the eSIM transfer does not work during initial setup, have to finish setting up the new iPhone and then transfer from mobile data settings.
