Things to keep in mind
Indian variants come with a physical sim card slot and also supports eSIM but the iPhone 16 from the United States won’t have a physical sim card slot, it supports only eSIM. Also, make sure that you buy an unlocked iPhone 16 as some markets sell network-locked iPhones.
In China, iPhone 16 and other variants come with two physical sim slots without eSIM support.
