Does the iPhone XS support eSIM?
Last updated September 22, 2026
Yes. The iPhone XS (2018) supports eSIM, so you can install a travel data plan in about two minutes without touching your physical SIM.
Mainland-China models of the iPhone XS are the exception: they carry two physical SIM trays instead of eSIM. Every other region supports it.
