It’s unclear what you mean by eSIM and SMS being more secure. It’s not, as other commenters noted.

Also, the international SIM card thing is still an issue. It could take 2-4 years for carriers to pick up, and the buyer needs to beware and it’s silly for Apple to not provide the workaround. I won’t opt for an iPhone 14 as this is exactly my use-case

Also the Satellite messages is for emergencies. Are you planning to be in an emergency or just abusing the service?
