The iPhone Air Comes as eSIM-Only: With Us, You Can Switch to eSIM With Just One Click
With the launch of the iPhone Air without a physical SIM slot in Switzerland, Apple is continuing along the path it embarked upon three years ago in the US. We are well prepared: we have been offering all tariffs as eSIMs for five years. Already today, more than half of all Digital Republic Flat Mobile subscription customers prefer eSIMs to physical SIM cards. As Switzerland’s leading eSIM provider, we enable eSIM activation in 5 minutes and switching from a physical SIM card to an eSIM with just one click.
Apple unveiled its new iPhone models this week and took a decisive step: After selling iPhones in the US as eSIM-only devices since the iPhone 14 three years ago, the iPhone Air is now the first switch to the eSIM-only variant in Switzerland as well. This move comes as no surprise to us: we have been consistently focusing on digital eSIM for five years and have played a key role in shaping the Swiss eSIM offering.
“The launch of the eSIM-only iPhone Air in Switzerland confirms our vision. We recognized early on that the future of SIM cards is digital and have consistently geared the customer experience toward this.”

As an Existing Digital Republic Customer, You Can Switch to eSIM With Just One Click.
With the eSIM-only iPhone Air, many people are faced with the challenge of not being able to insert their physical SIM card from their old device into their new iPhone Air as usual. That’s why we make the switch very easy: existing customers can switch to eSIM for free and in a matter of seconds with just one click.
Here’s How It Works
New Digital Republic Customers Can Activate an eSIM in 5 Minutes
New customers can purchase a Flat Mobile subscription directly as an eSIM at digitalrepublic.ch. It is activated within 5 minutes and, as usual with Digital Republic, you get the first 30 days free of charge.
“Sooner or later, eSIM will be the only option. Our goal is to make this transition as easy as possible for our customers.” Muriel Strasser, CPO Digital Republic
