Hey,
I currently have 2 phones, one iPhone 12 (personal), and one iPhone 6 (work) and was thinking of ditching the work phone to move to dual sims on the 12.
As far as I've read up on I can see the following pros and cons for me!:
Pros
Cons
Does anyone with any experience of it have anything else I should consider? I'm probably undecided at the moment but the 'new toy' element is driving me towards maybe giving it a go 😆

As far as I've read up on I can see the following pros and cons for me!:
Pros
- Only have to carry one phone around
- Obviously the iPhone 6 is very old so really really slow, almost unmanageable, would get speed on work messages/teams calls etc (work are unwilling to upgrade unless it's broken, my argument that it's still on iOS12 hasn't counted as 'broken'!)
- Probably only a pro people on this forum would see(!) but 'something new to play with' having 2 sims on one phone, setting up people as work/personal etc. on contacts
Cons
- Is it difficult to move over to an e-sim?
- If I lose/break this phone I obviously have no backup phone at all on me, but this I guess is a problem no matter what, just doubles for me
- Moving/upgrading phones, sounds like it's much more of a hassle than just swapping out a physical sim
- Currently doesn't have 5G on dual sim - but think this is sorted with 14.5 in a couple of weeks (5G is pretty good for me, near the house and just away from the wifi was 3G rather than 4G but now is 5G so a big bonus, similarly for around town the days I am in the office)
- It doesn't auto-switch to the better signal, so would have to manually do this if I wanted to move networks to see which is getting better signal
