Does the iPhone 8 have eSIM?
No
The iPhone 8 only takes a physical SIM card. It can't install an eSIM, ours or anyone else's, so please don't buy one for this phone.
What you can do instead
Buy a local prepaid SIM card when you land, or rent a pocket wifi. And if you are changing phone before the trip, check the list of compatible models below.
