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 5 generations behind the current iPhone 18 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. The iPhone 13 keeps a nano-SIM tray in every country, and it is the first generation that runs two eSIMs at once (Dual eSIM), so a home line and a travel plan can both stay on eSIM. Apple's eSIM-only iPhones start with the US iPhone 14. Exception: models sold in mainland China have no eSIM, and in Hong Kong and Macao only the XS, SE, 12 mini and 13 mini have it — the other models sold there have two nano-SIM slots instead.

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 listed on this page — iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max — carry eSIM hardware. Note: Dual eSIM Support.

Can I use an eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time on the iPhone 13 Series?expand_more
Yes: one nano-SIM plus one eSIM, or two eSIMs active at the same time (Dual eSIM). Exception: models sold in mainland China have no eSIM, and in Hong Kong and Macao only the XS, SE, 12 mini and 13 mini have it — the other models sold there have two nano-SIM slots instead.
How many eSIM profiles can a iPhone 13 Series model 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 model 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.
