Does the Apple iPhone 16 have eSIM and dual-SIM capabilities?

Yes, all versions of the Apple iPhone 16 series have eSIM support. This includes the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

What changes between markets is the availability of physical SIM card support. The US versions of all these iPhone 16 models will have no physical SIM card support at all. The SIM card slots are missing, altogether.

There are different versions of the iPhone 16 series, though. The international models will come with a physical SIM card slot and eSIM.

The only model that does not support eSIM is the Chinese version, but it will come with two physical SIM card slots, which many of you might prefer.

Does the iPhone 16 have dual-SIM support? Yes, the iPhone 16 series handsets support dual-SIM functionality, regardless of which iteration you get.

The US versions of the iPhone 16 devices can run two eSIM profiles at a time. The international model can run a single physical SIM card, along with an eSIM profile.

Alternatively, you can use two eSIM profiles, just like with the US model.
