Quick answer
Yes. All iPhone 15 models — iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max — support eSIM. US models are eSIM-only with no physical SIM tray. International models have a nano-SIM slot alongside eSIM. All iPhone 15 models support Dual SIM (two lines active simultaneously), which is the ideal travel setup: one eSIM for your home carrier, one for your travel data plan.
