Just bought new phone not sure whether to stick with SIM or go to esim

[Torheedarmy91]

I have just upgraded my phone, I'm in the process of setting it up. 

It is asking whether I want to stay with an physical SIM or have an esim?

I understand that esim is safer in the long run. But which is best the physical SIM or an esim?

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance

Not sure what you mean by an electronic SIM being safer in the long run, but a lot of this is probably just personal preference.

Electronic SIM is certainly "the latest and greatest", and has advantages if you want to free up a physical SIM slot.

Physical SIM is certainly easier when changing phones, and enables easy SIM-swapping in fault scenarios.

I've yet to find any advantage of eSIM except for the SIM-slot scenario, personally.
