As we enter 2026, understanding your hardware is the first step to digital freedom. While most new devices are eSIM-ready, regional restrictions and carrier locks still exist. At MollySIM, we maintain this verified list (last updated February 2026) to help you choose the right data plan with confidence.
Section 1: Apple iPhone & iPad

Section 5: The "Sanity Check" - How to Confirm Manually
