iPhone 14 and eSIM: what to know

Yes, the iPhone 14 supports eSIM. It can store several eSIM profiles (typically eight or more) and use two lines at the same time, for example one eSIM alongside your physical SIM or two eSIMs. Sales in the United States are eSIM-only, with no physical SIM tray, while many other markets still include a nano-SIM slot.

Add an eSIM: go to Settings > Mobile Service (or Cellular) > Add eSIM, then scan the QR code or enter the details manually.
Find your EID: open Settings > General > About and scroll down to "EID". You can tap and hold to copy it.
Label your lines: name them "Home" and "Travel", then choose which one is used for Mobile Data under Settings > Mobile Service.
Travel tip: keep Data Roaming switched on for your travel eSIM only, and turn it off on your home line to avoid roaming charges.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile before your trip while you have Wi-Fi, then activate it when you land. Your main number stays active for calls, SMS and WhatsApp.
