I am considering to purchase an iPhone 11 pro for its dual SIM functionality (built in eSIM) as I travel a lot. I live in Panama and I wanted to confirm that phones sold by the official ape distributor here have the eSIM functionality enabled?
The distributor is mistaken.
The eSIM functionality is built in to all current iPhones sold everywhere in the world except China, and cannot be simply diasbled.
The issue is that very few carriers in Latin America actually support it.
Chile (Movistar), Argentina (Personal), Brazil (Claro), Colombia(Movistar) and Mexico(AT&T) are the only latin american countries with carriers that support it and even then its only on a specific carrier in those countries, not all of the carriers available there.
So the use will be limited.
The eSIM will be in the iPhone and functional, if you can find a carrier that supports it when you travel.

am not seeking to use the eSIM in panama, but when traveling. Just visited them and the authorised distributor tells me the eSIM functionality is not installed/enabled on phones sold in Latin America!?
All iphones sold outside of China have an esim.
Whether it works or not is up to the cellular carrier.
You need to check with them to see if they support esim.
