SIM or eSIM in turkey?

Im an American traveling to Turkey with an iPhone 13. Should I get a physical SIM card or eSIM? It seems you have to erase the phone to use eSIM. Can anyone make a recommendation?

Salutations jonathan_w_cohen, 


With an iPhone 13 it supports dual SIM, meaning you can have a physical SIM card installed and also use a plan from an eSIM, both at the same time. Then to remove an eSIM you erase it in Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data and tap the plan you want to erase.
