Cellphone e-sims (alien.top)

I'm considering buying iPhone 15 in US and read that there's no physical sim card slot, so it's only e-sim.

Will this work in every country? Has anyone here been nomadding just with e-sims?

I want to make sure I want get caught out in a country with simply no ability to get a sim.

I don't go anywhere too wild like Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.

But I like to visit countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Peru, Paraguay, etc.

Thanks for any help!

Don’t buy an esim only iPhone if you plan to travel. For example esims don’t exist in China I don’t think. You also may not be able to have a choice of mobile networks in a country that you may visit and be stuck with the one that offers an esim
