China still doesn't allow eSim, so Apple made special iPhone model with dual SIM slots for them.

I guess that's the reason why they took eSim away on the iPhone 12 in Hong Kong, despite previous models having it.

I used to have my main number as an eSim, and then inserted a travel SIM. Had to convert my eSim back to a real SIM card. Luckily it has dual SIM.
