Be aware that some iPhone 14 models, such as the units sold in the United States, ONLY use eSIM’s. The carrier’s in the destination country MUST support an eSIM or a U.S. iPhone 14 will not work.


For example, China is a country that does not support eSIM’s. And even if there are carriers that support eSIM’s, it may not be all carriers, which limits your selections.


Check if the country where you purchase the iPhone 14 has models with a SIM tray, or ONLY eSIM. And if ONLY eSIM, if the carrier you want to use supports the eSIM.
