Refurbished iPhone 13 Pro - Does it have a physical sim card tray?

According to some light googling, all iPhone 13 models have physical sim card trays and only since the 14, physical sim card trays have been phased out.

However, in the description for refurbished iPhone 13 Pro, it says "Unlocked, SIM-Free, Model A24831". Not much comes up for Model "A24831".

Is this a mistake or am I misunderstanding something, or do refurbished iPhone 13 Pros lack physical sim card trays?

Thanks

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

… for the US models. (Other countries still get the SIM tray, even for the latest models iPhone.)

However, in the description for refurbished iPhone 13 Pro, it says "Unlocked, SIM-Free, Model A24831". Not much comes up for Model "A24831".

SIM-Free refers to: SIM-lock free; no carrier lock; not tied to any specific mobile service provider.

It still has a SIM tray, but also supports eSIM.

The model number is A2483 (iPhone 13 Pro, 2021 model, for the US market). The ¹ is for the footnote/small print at the bottom of the page.
