Google may have found a way to offer dual-SIM support on eSIMs

References to "multiple enabled profiles" (MEP) have been spotted in the
Android Open Source Project and Android Developers website indicating
adoption could be on the way in Android 13.

The company had previously published this solution in a patent back in 2020,
and it works by splitting a physical interface between different digital
connections. "No rewiring is needed, so existing devices with a single eSIM
chip wired to a modem can theoretically support MEP," explains Rahman.

Adoption of the eSIM has been slow and the nanoSIM remains the norm for now.

But while not everyone wants multiple carriers on their phones, this could
be a significant step towards a day when fiddling with SIM card removal tool
becomes a thing of the past.
