What's the maximum number of eSIMs a phone can have?
Most iPhones can hold between 8 and 20 profiles, but only one can be active at a time—except for iPhone 13 and newer models, which can run two simultaneously. On Android, the limit varies by device. Regardless of how many you store, switching between them is straightforward whenever needed.
