    Newer iphones use e-sim which kinda sucks and makes me want to just have a spare iphone 13 so its at least reasonably new and capable just to have the option of switching physical sim cards if i wanted to. Biggest difference in having a 5g capable phone was last year I was texting and sending images from the front of the Pyramid when in 2017 my phone had zero reception in the same spot.

     

    Would it not be cheaper to sell your existing IPhone and pool the money from that and what you have reserved for the spare iPhone 13 towards importing a Hong Kong iPhone Model Axxx with dual discrete nano-SIM slots?

    (You should also be able to pay in $HKD if you load a balance to a Wise debit card to avoid transfer fees from $USD - presumably you use this loaded with £GBP when you are at Glastonbury?)

    so long as it supports the cellular bands you require in your home country (California, USA?):

    5G and LTE. Find the iPhone that’s right for your country or region.

    I personally plan to buy the final 'Max' or rumo[u]red 'Ultra' HK iPhone that uses a Qualcomm modem, before the switch to an Apple-designed one (similarly, I plan to soon buy a refurbished base-level Intel-base Mac Pro 2019 now that it has been discontinued in favour of the Apple Silicon-based Mac Pro 2023).

    It is my understanding that it should still be possible to register for AppleCare+ - which provides global coverage - from the option within your HK iPhone, up to 90 days after setup / initiali[s/z]ation of the phone landing on US soil, using your regular US Apple ID with payment in $USD.
