This week on Supercharged we’re talking about SIM cards, location-based depression, and too much technology! We’re also answering your questions about battery conditioning, backing up, and a little more time tracking.

• Apple and Samsung may help make the SIM card disappearThe SIM card as we know it may be about to disappear. According to the Financial Times, Apple and Samsung are in discussions with mobile carriers to help develop and implement a new SIM card standard that could make it easier to switch between service providers. The report refers to the new standard as an embedded SIM — or an e-SIM — which would remain inside the phone and give consumers the ability to switch carriers without getting a new card, rather than locking them into a specific carrier, as they do now. That means no more swapping SIMs to switch phones or carriers; it would all be done through an interface on the device.
