    Yes, it does answer that under point 2: “You will also be able to convert a physical SIM to an eSIM,” with the caveat disclaimer of point 3: “these features will not work on all phones across all carriers.”

    It really doesn’t matter if the carrier supports eSIMs or not. If it’s the Pixel can convert the physical to an electronic, and still transmit all the relevant identifiers. So the carrier might see the eSIM as a physical. You’re kinda asking “what if I buy it on Tuesday? The article doesn’t mention Tuesday purchases.” It’s irrelevant. Again, might not work everywhere.
