Does the Apple iPhone Duo support eSIM?

Yes. The Apple iPhone Duo is eSIM-compatible, so you can install a Pelesim travel eSIM without swapping your physical SIM card.

The Apple iPhone Duo works with eSIM

Your phone must be carrier-unlocked to install a travel eSIM.

iPhones purchased in mainland China do not support eSIM, and only select models from Hong Kong and Macao are eSIM-compatible. If your iPhone was bought in these regions, verify support before purchasing.
