UK iPhone 17/Pro: Physical SIM slot?

Hello Apple Community. I wanted to ask if all IPhone 17 and 17 Pro sold on UK apple website (Apple (United Kingdom)) have SIM Card Slots in them instead of ESIM. I am interested in an IPhone 17 with a SIM Card Slot instead of ESIM.

Does iPhone 15 pro have 2 nano-SIM card slots in the UK? From the Tech Specs (iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max - Technical Specifications - Apple (UK), it says it comes with "Dual SIM (nano-SIM and eSIM)", should I expect there are 2 nano-SIM card slots? Or 1 nano-SIM + 1 (or more) eSIM? It's quite confusing to me...

Those models have one physical SIM card slot and support the eSIM.
