Yes, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max support eSIM, just like the iPhone 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, XS, XR, and SE (2nd and 3rd generation) series. These are dual SIM devices, combining a nano-SIM slot with eSIM support, except in certain markets where only eSIM is available.
In twelve markets, (the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max work with eSIM only. Users in these markets can set up two eSIMs at the same time, enabling “dual SIM” functionality without a physical SIM card.
Elsewhere, including France, the UK, Germany, and most other countries, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max keep a physical SIM card slot: users can choose between two eSIMs, or one eSIM and one physical nano-SIM.
Dual eSIM lets you use two eSIMs simultaneously on your iPhone, so you can activate and manage two cellular plans at the same time. No physical SIM card is needed, and you can switch carriers directly from your iPhone’s settings.
