Many years ago, many people, including myself, when they heard the word "double card, double waiting", they unconsciously thought it was a fake phone. But in recent years, many users hold several SIM cards, one for lovers and the other for lovers. Double card phones have gradually become mainstream, And the voice of the fans for the dual card iPhone is getting higher and higher.
In the early morning of September 14, Apple officially launched its flagship product—— IPhone XS series and iPhone XR , thus ending the situation that the price of the new iPhone is lower than ¥ 5000. Now it is so expensive that it will be overdrawn. However, the XS and XR, which seem to have little innovation, finally support dual cards, and the XS Max and XR of the Bank of China, Hong Kong version and Macao version are still physical dual cards!!! All other regions are eSIM, China's special edition cow *!
Love to play computer games I also bought the iPhone XS Max of the Bank of China at the first time. In this article, I will tell you how to use the iPhone dual card, whether it is easy to use and whether it is worth buying!
How to use it?
Both the Bank of China and the Hong Kong version of XS Max use double-sided card slots to maximize the utilization rate. Put two SIM cards into the card slot and insert them into the fuselage √. At this time, an interface will pop up, asking which SIM card you want to use as the default number. The default number will be responsible for iMessage, FaceTime and other tasks.
In the status bar, there will be several points below the regular signal bar, which means that your iPhone dual card life starts from here. You can also see the logo of the two cards when you pull down the control center, but it seems that this UI design is relatively general.
Enter Settings - Cellular Mobile Network, where you can make more adjustments and operations, such as changing the traffic SIM card, setting the default dial number, and so on.
The two SIM cards can also be marked with different marks in the settings. There are six options, including "main card", "secondary card", "personal", "business", "travel", and "traffic data". It is not too confusing to use. In addition to the above, you can also customize the label, and the logo of the notification bar will display the first word of the label.
In the call app, when you enter a number, an identifier will appear on the top of the interface. Click it to select the SIM card to dial.
The same logic applies in the SMS App. Click to switch the SIM card that sends the SMS. In the contact interface, you can set different default dialing numbers for different contacts, so you don't have to select them every time.
However, in the SMS interface, it is impossible to see which SIM card sent this message at a glance. You need to click the option above to enter the details page to see it. The steps are a little more, not intuitive.
When you call, there will be a small logo below the number to tell you which SIM card you are calling.
Good or not&break the rumor
I believe you should have seen a lot about i the other day Let's break them one by one
Rumor 1 : The secondary card can only be used to access the Internet. It is not allowed to make/answer calls or send and receive short messages.
Breaking: False. It is actually measured that no matter which card in XS Max is used to make/receive calls and send and receive messages.
Rumor 2 ： The dual cards of iPhone do not support the same carrier.
Breaking: False, actually measured Mobile+Mobile and Unicom+Unicom can be used without pressure, and no matter which card it is, it can make/answer calls, send and receive messages, and surf the Internet（ The flow card can be changed at will when setting ）Surfing. *99.99% of the world's dual card mobile phones Both do not support dual telecom
Rumor 3 : The system is divided into "flow card" and "voice card". The flow card can only answer calls, not make calls, nor send SMS messages.
Breaking: False. It also says that no matter how you set it, the two cards can be used to make/receive calls and send and receive messages.
Whether China Unicom+China Unicom 、 Mobile+Unicom, Mobile+Telecom still China Unicom+Telecom , as long as it is not Telecom+Telecom ， The iPhone XS Max can be used normally, just like other Android dual card phones, and there is no so-called "semi disabled phenomenon".
In the cellular data network settings, you can also view all the SIM cards that have been inserted into this iPhone, but it is not clear what the purpose of this record is.
In addition, according to the feedback of fans of Iooko, this year's Hong Kong version of iPhone XS series can use telecom without pressure, and it is normal to actually make/receive calls, send and receive messages, and surf the Internet.
However, even in a short period of use, the iPhone XS Max, which costs as much as 10000 yuan, still has many problems: after a call, suddenly both cards of the phone are Loss of all signals （ Occurred twice ）, wait for a while before returning to normal; After clicking the dial button, suddenly both cards Loss of all signals （ Once ）~I don't know whether this is a software or hardware bug.
Am "i" OK?
The dual card experience of the iPhone XS Max is quite good. It is not much different from most Android phones. For Apple fans who hold two SIM cards but are extremely tired of carrying two phones out, this time, Apple saved them.
Unfortunately, dual VoLTE is not supported at present, but Apple said that it will enable this function in subsequent OTA push, so you don't need to pay too much attention. But there is one more thing about eggache:, iPhone XS（ Both 5.8 inch version ）The Bank of China version does not have a physical dual card, nor does it support eSIM, so the dual card Apple Fans can only skip this machine, either go to XS Max now, or wait for the iPhone XR in October.
In addition, from the current situation, there are still many bugs in the dual card of iPhone. I hope that they can be solved by OTA in the future.
How to buy?
At 3:01 p.m. on September 14, Apple's new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max were launched on time in Tmall, which exceeded the sales of the official flagship store of Tmall Apple Store, the first launch of the new iPhone last year, in just 29 minutes, with the highest sales of the golden dual card dual standby iPhone.
Although it is "the most expensive iPhone in history", it still sells well. This year, Tmall launched an innovative model of hedging and repo with a "40% discount for one year", which saved consumers a lot of money.
