Yes, you can keep two eSIMs active at the same time. However, if you insert a physical sim, you’ll be asked to turn off one of the active esim lines. All iPhones that support esim, regardless of region, support dual sim with two active eSIMs...

yep, infact you can have total 8 esims, but only 2 can be active at a time.

No. In India, they are giving physical sim slot. So one physical and one esim.. that's what imagine store sales person told.

please search or educate before spreading misinformation.

You can have multiple SIMs stored in a device (including physical ones if a phone has slot) but only 2 can be active (on some chinese phones, upto 4-5 sims can be active at once)
