I need that level of flexibility: to use either two physical SIMs or one physical + eSIM. So, does version of iPhone 12 pro max with “Physical Dual SIM” (that one for China, Hong Kong etc.) support eSIM as well?
p.s. *** S21 Ultra does, btw...
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
The iPhones sold in Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China with dual physical SIM slots do not have an eSIM chipset.
Other iPhones have one SIM slot and one eSIM, and the eSIM does allow you to save multiple profiles. Only one can be active at any given time, but you can switch between them.
Using Dual SIM with an eSIM - Apple Support
“You can store more than one eSIM in your iPhone, but you can use only one at a time. To switch eSIMs, tap Settings, tap either Cellular or Mobile Data, and then tap the plan you want to use. Then tap Turn On This Line.”

lol... if I ask then it is needed.
I am a frequent traveller. In some countries I need to use two SIMs (my home’s one + local with real number for calls etc.), for the other countries it is enough for me to use eSIM just for data plan..
No need to. It has two sims already.
No company makes a phone that has 3 sims.
Sorry, but did you read my use cases carefully? I don’t need three simultaneously! I need either two physical or physical + eSIM
Thx for clarification! It’s sad. I do need that level of flexibility.
