Can I transfer my eSIM between two devices?

With the iOS 18 update, you can now transfer your eSIM(s) between two iPhones. There are two ways you can transfer an eSIM between two iPhones, and the first way is during the initial setup of a new iPhone. During that process, you will eventually get to a “Transfer your Phone Number” screen, and Apple will walk you through what to do. You can also transfer an eSIM to a new iPhone manually. All you have to do is go to your new iPhone Settings, then click ‘Cellular’, and then click ‘Set Up Cellular’. Then you can set up your eSIM and transfer your phone number to your new iPhone. *Both iPhones need to be upgraded to iOS 18 or higher for the transfer to be possible.*
