Apple’s latest iPhone 11 lineup adds more cameras, brighter screens and faster processors. iPhone 11 is even available in six colors. eSIM, as a new feature on smartphones, also has been discussed when we refer to iPhone 11. If you want to buy an eSIM-supported iPhone 11, you will find the answer you want in this article.
What is eSIM?
Embedded SIM, known as eSIM, is a small chip built right into your phone. It is used to authenticate your identity with your carriers. Comparing to the preceding physical SIM card, eSIM is more convenient to use and space-saving on your phone for other features. Instead of having to order a new SIM and wait for it, you can switch to a new carrier straight from your phone when using an eSIM. And eSIM technology also supports multiple accounts. You can still have dual SIMs.
Does iPhone 11/ 11 Pro/ 11 Pro Max have eSIM technology?
With the comeout of the iPhone XS, Apple has its eSIM smartphone. After that, iPhone 11 lineup follows the steps. They offered both a physical nano-SIM slot and an eSIM as a secondary. But eSIM on iPhone is not offered in China mainland. Instead, there is a dual-SIM slot. It may be bad news for those who want to use an eSIM to travel to China.
What phones with eSIM can we buy?
Besides iPhone 11 lineup, there are some other smartphones featured with eSIM. However, you still have a few options.

If these are not what you want, wait for next year’s new releases. There will definitely spring up many great smartphones with eSIM. And if you don’t want to wait anymore, before you buy one of them, make sure whether and what telecom companies in your country support eSIM.
