Owing to its unpopularity, or to which its unpopularity owes, Apple has only supported dual SIM for a few generations.

I have one line on Verizon and one on T-Mobile for better coverage, robustness to congestion.

iOS 13 has a "cellular data switching" feature for dual SIM that automatically chooses networks based on availability.

Data from one network even provides "WiFi calling" capability for the other line.
