New iPhone, new camera, new chip – and maybe it’s also time for a small upgrade to your mobile plan? Apple has just unveiled the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. And while much of the attention is focused on the camera, performance and Apple Intelligence, there is one feature that is particularly interesting for your everyday mobile experience: Dual esim Because your iPhone can handle more than one mobile plan. And this is exactly where a second eSIM from Lyca Mobile becomes interesting.
What’s new with the iPhone 18 Pro?
Apple hasn’t reinvented everything with the iPhone 18 Pro. Instead, it has improved some of the features you actually use every day.           Â
A camera that can do even more. The new 48 MP Fusion main camera features a variable aperture for the first time. This gives you greater control over how much light reaches the sensor and how the depth of field in your photos looks. There are also new manual Pro settings directly in the Camera app.For anyone who already uses their smartphone as their main camera, this is likely to be one of the most exciting upgrades.
More power with the A20 Pro
Inside, Apple’s new A20 Pro chip is doing the work. Apple promises a significant leap in performance and efficiency – especially for AI applications and demanding workloads. The cooling system has also been further developed with a new generation of vapor chamber technology.
More battery life
Apple has also improved battery life. The iPhone 18 Pro Max in particular makes a big leap forward and, according to Apple, reaches up to 43 hours of video playback.           Â
And this is where things get interesting: in some countries, Apple already sells the iPhone 18 Pro exclusively with eSIM. The space previously occupied by the SIM slot is used for a larger battery, which according to Apple provides up to two additional hours of video playback.So the small plastic card is gradually losing its place inside the smartphone.
But perhaps the most exciting feature? Two eSIMs.
The iPhone 18 Pro models available in Germany support Dual SIM with nano-SIM and eSIM, as well as Dual eSIM.And that opens up new possibilities. You no longer necessarily have to choose: Work or personal.Your existing number or a new plan. National or international. You can use two mobile plans on one smartphone.
Keep your number. Simply add Lyca.
Maybe you don’t want to cancel your existing number or your current contract at all.You don’t have to. You can set up a Lyca Mobile eSIM as your second SIM on your iPhone and continue using your existing plan in parallel.This can be useful, for example, if your main contract only includes a small amount of data. Instead of switching your entire contract, you can add a Lyca prepaid plan as a second eSIM and use its data allowance.            Â
Or you can use one number for work and the other for your personal life.           Â
Or you can use Lyca because of a plan that includes international calling or EU roaming.Â
One smartphone. Two plans. You decide which one you use for what. And you don’t have to wait for a SIM card.
An eSIM is already digitally integrated into your smartphone.With Lyca Mobile, you choose a suitable plan online and can then activate the eSIM using a QR code. So you don’t have to wait for a plastic card to arrive by mail, and you don’t have to open a SIM slot either. This is particularly practical when using it as a second SIM:Choose a plan → activate the eSIM → use it as a second line on your iPhone.Lyca already offers a variety of prepaid plans with eSIM. Depending on the plan, features such as 5G, EU roaming, VoLTE and unlimited national calls are available – all without a traditional long-term contract.
New iPhone. So why stick to old SIM habits?
Apple is moving more and more clearly towards eSIM.In the US and now also in several other markets, the new iPhone 18 Pro models are even being offered completely without a physical SIM slot. Apple itself highlights flexibility, security and easier connectivity as benefits of eSIM.For you, however, this mainly means one thing: more freedom when choosing your mobile plan. You don’t have to leave your current provider straight away. You don’t have to wait for a new SIM card. And you don’t necessarily have to limit yourself to a single plan.Your new iPhone can handle two eSIMs.        Â
So why not simply add Lyca as your second one? iPhone 18 Pro. Two eSIMs. More possibilities. Discover the Lyca Mobile prepaid eSIM and find the plan that fits your new iPhone.
