Just got back from 2 separate trips to Europe with an iPhone 14 pro (eSIM only US model). The first trip I landed in Germany, remembered I needed a phone plan when I landed, and got a 1 month unlimited plan on DT using the airport Wi-Fi and was good to go. For the 2nd trip to France I downloaded a short traveler plan eSIM to my phone before leaving and activated when I got off the plane.
In both cases it was easier than dealing with physical SIMs. Also there was no concern about how many slots the phone had, it can even store extra non-active eSIMs on top of having your two active ones.
Same. I landed in Turkey last month and picked up a Europe-wide eSIM via the airport WiFi. Quick and easy. It saved me faffing with storing my local SIM somewhere safe for a month and from having to find a SIM store that isn't trying to rip off tourists.
