If there is any phone manufacturer today that could make a software SIM a reality it is Apple.  Simply put take the iPhone with a software SIM or don't sell it, how many carriers are going to say no to Apple and not sell the iPhone due to a software SIM.  None and its time that Apple forced the issue so others can follow this move.  Their prior attempts to offer a Apple SIM failed since AT&T and others simply locked it to their networks upon registration.  For me its not as critical as it used to be,  I now only buy SIM free Unlocked iPhones which work on any carrier.

Apple demands suppliers cut costs so they can maintain their high margins and profits, so in order for the razor thin margins the suppliers were making cut even more and in an effort to many any profits themselves they force impossible overtime demands and cut wages to insure their profits are maintained. Sure every company has a fiduciary responsibility to insure profits to their shareholders, no problem. BUT, when you profits are dropping due to slowing demand caused by longer upgrade windows that is YOUR PROBLEM, not your suppliers problem. Sounds like Apple has yet another winner on its hands, Greed, Abuse and Disregard for safe working conditions as they promised to do. SHOCKER, NOT!
