I am using an iPhone XS Max with 2 SIMs (the China model with Dual nano SIM tray, not the eSIM version).
How can I disable the secondary SIM, while still leaving it in the SIM tray?
For example, to disconnect a line to avoid being disturbed, but not the second one. A bit like a "Do Not Disturb" or "Airplane" mode for a specific SIM
Regards,
Bruno
iPhone XS Max, iOS 12.1
Hi Guys, Apple finally fixed this issues with the new ios 12.1.1. I updated to this few days ago, and is really amazing. You can now switch off any of the sim by a simple button on the Celluar settings. Finally! Thank you apple.

I have the same question too. but haven't found the right solution. The only quick temp solution that I do is to switch off the phone and when switching back on, I only enter the SIM CARD PIN for the number that I want to activate. and do not key in the SIM PIN the other number number.
I don't know if its the right way, but its the only way I can do so. I just hope that Apple can suggest or have a solution to this quick and provide a faster way.
I have searched and searched and there seems to be no option for this. You have to switch off both or none.
It's a poorly developed DUAL SIM experience by Apple. I do not think Apple engineers have even used a dual sim phone in the past. I am noticing so many issues.
Overall I actually like the experience from the iPhone powering on and detecting 2 SIMs to the clear choices in the interface.
However, not being allowed to turn off a specific SIM seems to be a significant miss
Hopefully, this is coming in an iOS update
