'iPhone 14' may have eSIM-only option, but it won't be universal
I transferred my U.S. service from a physical SIM to the eSIM on my iPhone a few years ago, before traveling out of the country to a destination where (nearly?) all phones work from prepaid SIM cards. When you need to refill, you go to a shop (which might be just a counter in someone’s home) to buy a card with a refill code. Then you effectively text the code to the cellular carrier and your refill amount gets added to your SIM card.
There is NO way that you are going find a way to enable an eSIM card in that country. (Even here in the U.S., it required a visit to the carrier’s store to move my service from the physical SIM card to the eSIM.) Completely removing the physical SIM from the iPhone would be a huge step backwards, which would make iPhones completely unusable in certain countries.
