Problem with dual sim installation on iPhone 11 dual sim

I've just purchased an Iphone 11 Pro and it looks like the sim card holder is only designed to hold one nano card. Is the dual sim a special version of the Iphone 11 pro?

the dual sim is for iPhone's that were bought in China mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao only (from what i see here, https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209086 ), BUT you are able to do the same thing as a dual sim but one sim card has to be in the phone and the other has to be an eSIM, which in my opinion is fine but some people may not like that too much but basically only iPhones bought in those places have dual sim capabilities but you are able to use a physical sim and an eSIM (and it doesn't make a difference as far as i know once you get it set up), if you have any more questions feel free to ask and i or someone else would love to answer them. (i also will include this article as well in case your interested in the eSIM stuff, https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT209044 )
