Does Apple support eSIM?
41 Apple models do. iPhone XR and XS onwards. In the US (and, from the iPhone 17, several other countries) the phone is eSIM only. Two checks for yours: it must support eSIM, and it must not be locked to a carrier.
The 30-second check
- Open the phone dialler and type
*#06#. - If an EID (a 32-digit number) appears, the phone supports eSIM.
- Check it is carrier-unlocked: on iPhone, Settings › General › About › Carrier Lock says “No SIM restrictions”. A locked phone refuses other networks. How to check on Samsung, Pixel and other phones.
