Dual Sim iphone

Hi lovely people, I want to upgrade my old iphone for one that is dual sim. I spend my time between the UK and Spain so want one that can hold both UK and Spanish sims. Which is the best iphone to buy to be able to do this and does it make a difference if I buy the phone in the UK or in Spain? I don't have a Spanish sim yet and don't really understand this e-sim thing. My time is split 70/30 in favour of Spain at the moment. Many thanks!

The only dual SIM phone you can buy in the EU and UK is one with an internal eSIM and one physical SIM. If you are using a cell service provider in the UK that supports eSIM set up your service there on that eSIM and then use a physical SIM in Spain. Or the reverse.
