If you have a QR code on your phone in a picture, the phone is smart enough to recognize the QR and read it out of the photo. You don't need to take a picture of the QR code printed out or on another device.

Also, you should be adding the eSIM for your destination before you travel so you just have to toggle it on when you land.

TL;DR: You're doing it wrong.

For US carriers, yes. Typically they'll let you roam with extremely throttled speeds (like 128kbps or 256kbps), and you can pay something like $10/day for high speed data (Verizon will be 500MB for that). T-Mobile gives you 5GB of high speed data roaming all over the world on their most expensive plan, which not everyone is willing to pay for.

absolutely. i came from an 11 and recently got a 13 mini. i love that the mini is easily pocketable (sometimes i forget it’s there) and usable with one hand. it also doesn’t hurt my hand like my 11 used to because it was too wide and heavy for me. i also feel safer now using my phone outside because the mini actually fits in my hand, unlike the 11 which was always just on my hand but never in it, if that makes sense

screen is a little too small for me sometimes, especially when watching videos, but it’s fine in a pinch + i have an iPad and laptop anyway

will hold on to my mini for as long as i can!

Yes. Different color. This is the new black (whatever they call it ) and my 13 was the blue. But weighed them and they are the same weight. I’m thinking it’s the balance of the weight with the new camera module but honestly don’t know

I have the 13 Pro Max, and I usually by a local sim when traveling. This is going to be a factor to me, and I don't always have the option to plan ahead. I was in Thailand recently a fellow traveler invited me to join him to see Ankor Wat so was spontaneously in Cambodia. a Physical sim was $4 for unlimited high-speed data, I have no idea if esim was an option then or if not when it will be. I would hate to be restricted to that across the whole world. When I upgrade to the 15, I will have to see what my options are and maybe get a European or Asian Iphone.
