I was afraid of this, when I bought my 15PM. Traveled to Chile, and what would have been a quick transaction at the Entel store ended in disappointment. Apparently you need a Chilean ID to purchase an eSIM. Fortunately, I brought a pixel 3 I can hotspot, and takes a nano sim, but it’s something of a hassle. My only regret so far.
I got my 14 Pro thinking it would be the last iPhone with a physical SIM card slot, but nope. The iPhone 15 Pro also has it (at least in Europe)
