Yes, the iPhone 14 supports eSIM technology. In fact, if you bought your iPhone 14 in the United States, it is an eSIM-only device with no physical SIM tray at all. For those with Global models (purchased in Europe, the UK, or Canada), your phone supports both a physical Nano-SIM and an eSIM.
One quick check: If your iPhone 14 was purchased in Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macao, it typically features two physical SIM slots and does not support eSIM.
The iPhone 14 was designed for a digital-first world, making it the perfect companion for Orange Travel. Whether you’re navigating the streets of Paris or beach-hopping in Thailand, using a travel eSIM allows you to skip the hunt for local SIM cards and avoid those eye-watering roaming fees from your home carrier.
