Apple would play the slow and steady development game by making Samsung and Google do the hard work, see where they get it wrong, and then hit the market with a better version of it. Using an eSIM creates more space within the phone unit itself, which seems to pair hand-in-hand with the drastic cuts Apple chose to make in respect to the iPhone Air's size.
