Although, T-Mobile has made it especially easy to do away with the dual SIM concept with their DIGITS app. Now I don't have to forward my TMo number to my Google Voice, and I have three phone numbers on one phone.
DIGITS is kinda flaky, though.

As for eSIM, hopefully the concept gains traction on Android as well as iOS. Installing a SIM card in a phone isn't exactly a huge hassle but it would be nice not to have to.
