eSIM Check

iPhone 13 Series eSIM support

Yes — all 4 models in the iPhone 13 Series support eSIM. One restriction applies to the whole range, detailed below.

Checked against the 4 iPhone 13 Series entries in our device database. This generation is 4 generations behind the current iPhone 17 Series, but eSIM support does not expire: an older model that shipped with the hardware keeps it.

What this means in practice

On iPhone, eSIM lives in Settings › Cellular › Add eSIM. Models sold in the United States since the iPhone 14 have no SIM tray at all — they are eSIM-only. Since the iPhone 17 generation Apple has extended that to twelve markets, and the iPhone Air is eSIM-only everywhere. An iPhone stores several profiles and keeps two active at once, so a home line and a travel plan can run side by side.

Check your own device

A model list tells you what the hardware can do. It cannot tell you whether your particular unit is carrier-locked, or whether it is a regional variant sold without eSIM hardware. Run the free check on the phone itself — it reads the eUICC chip directly and answers in a few seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Do all iPhone 13 Series models support eSIM?expand_more
Yes, all 4 models carry eSIM hardware. One restriction applies: Dual eSIM Support.
Can I use an eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time on the iPhone 13 Series?expand_more
Yes, outside the eSIM-only markets, where these models keep a physical SIM slot next to the eSIM. In the United States and the eleven other eSIM-only markets there is no SIM tray, and the phone runs two eSIMs instead.
How many eSIM profiles can the iPhone 13 Series store?expand_more
An iPhone stores eight or more eSIM profiles and keeps two of them active at the same time. A stored profile consumes no data and no battery.
Why does my iPhone 13 Series not show the eSIM option?expand_more
Three causes account for almost every case: the unit is a regional variant sold without eSIM hardware, the phone is locked to a carrier that has not provisioned eSIM, or the software is too old. The free check reads the chip directly and tells you which applies.
