You can but that’s so much work. Just get the XS on a cheap plan to use

If you live in the US, the answer is no. USA iPhone 14 is eSIM only. Worldwide, that should work out fine as long as your carrier allows for SIM-swapping. Some keep track of which device the SIM is in.

Depending on your carrier. It may be as simple as eSIM to eSIM transfer, or it may require contacting your provider each time. Who is your cell phone carrier?

Maybe a sealed case? LifeProof is a water resistant case, should keep dust and dirt out of your phone.

Awe dang. Or double up on a SIM card? Maybe change the # and add to your plan?

You could always get a cheap prepaid (there’s ones under $30 for like a gig)

I swap SIM cards daily, iMessage sometimes breaks but otherwise no issues

Rogers in Canada is not one of the carriers that do eSIM Quick Transfer, only Telus has that feature. With Rogers you have to get a new QR code every time you switch devices. Becoming a very big hassle, IMO.

edit: if you are just using a pSIM, you can swap it at your leisure.

If I were you, I’d get a prepaid plan with SpeakOut Wireless and then forward calls from my main number to the prepaid number. That way, when you’re using the main phone, all you’d have to do is turn off call forwarding.

While it is doable. You might wanna just consider getting the cheapest plan you can find for your Xs. Saves a lot of hassle WRT passwords, OTPs and all that. I'm not sure if msgs and other such things will sync.

You can also consider getting those ziplock bags to store your 14 and a bumper case with air pockets on the sides to cushion the fall if you ever drop it. I used to rely on cheap cases until my friend got one of those armour cases and he dropped his phone down 3 flights of stairs and it didn't get a single scratch.

iPhone 14 supports physical SIM in Canada.

True, I edited my post to reflect that.

I use my iPhone 7 still at work on WiFi only. Even calls forward over WiFi calling. If you don’t have consistent WiFi access at work it’s a no go, though.

Only thing I can’t do is text non-iMessage users.

you can enable sms chatting on other device in the settings on the main phone

Hop on Freedom or Shaw before they go away. My Shaw line is literally zero dollars because the account owner has Shaw home services.

ITT - people willing to spend other people's money instead of simply saying "yeah you can swap the sim all you want"

I have serious concerns about how long the SIM trays would last if swapped weekly, especially the water seal. They probably weren't designed to be opened that frequently. If the seal fails, water damage could be even more costly.
