There are pros and cons of both, I dont use travel esims but buy a local sim most the time and so having two physical sims would give me more options in the UK. I'm with O2 who do esims so it's electronic and the travel one is the physical one. If it had been a US spec phone then it would have had no physical sims at all but two esimsvoluted said:
As an aside, I'd personally rather have dual SIM functionality than one physical/one eSIM but perhaps I'm weird, or old.
Bandwidths will be different too, UK tends to use less bands than most countries and it varies by network so again may be positive of negative. Haven't looked at the range of bands on a Chinese iPhone but again the US has all the UK bands plus others inc the faster options.
The OP says there is a range of features difference in addition to the sim... dont know what they would be and if they are software or hardware driven.0 -
When the 14 was the newest product they provided a full list of specs as they do on the website with the 16; now the 14 is down on the pecking order the details in the listing are less0
