AT&T defeats the whole purpose of Apple SIM
AT&T
has ensured that users who sign up for one of its plans using the
Apple SIM won't be able to switch to a different carrier on the same
device without ponying up for a new sim.
Despite
the lack of heraldry that accompanied it, Apple SIM was one of the
coolest new things Apple announced alongside iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3
this month.
So it's too bad that AT&T is ruining iPad Air 2 users' Apple SIMs the second they're activated with the US carrier's network, as MacRumors reported.
Apple SIM is supposed to let users choose short-term plans from a variety of carriers directly from their shiny new LTE-enabled iPads.
The idea is that you can switch between plans and carriers basically at will, which is especially helpful for users who travel frequently and/or are repelled by commitment.

But AT&T has ensured that users who sign up for one of its plans using the Apple SIM won't be able to switch to a different carrier on the same device without ponying up for a new sim, which entirely defeats the purpose of Apple's latest innovation.
The carrier's party-crashing first came to light on Twitter, and Apple later confirmed it. An AT&T spokesperson then told Re/code that "it's just simply the way we've chosen to do it."
AT&T just became the dude who arrives at the party, flips on all the lights and plugs in his own tunes, to everyone else's chagrin. Currently Sprint, T-Mobile and UK carrier EE also support Apple SIM, and none of them have chosen to be "that carrier."
