Lost iPad Pro Dual Sim Capabilities after 12.1 Update

Typical, we always lose important features after major upgrades. Unfortunately I am used to it already.
I’m going to the US in a couple of months and this was very useful. I sure hope it will be fixed.
I’ll be calling tomorrow. It’s closed now where I live. This is a step backwards.

I’ve been able to duplicate throughout the whole of the beta period. I reported the issue to Apple and its remained in the final release
Hopefully this wil be fixed in a future update. If not then its likely Apple have gone all in on eSIM which I believe (but I’m not totally up on this) is a little different to the Apple SIM that was included with older iPad Pro models
Still working fine for me.
Updated through iTunes from the beta using the full ipsw.
I’ve no idea, perhaps do an iTunes restore or download the full .ipsw and shift reinstall through iTunes.
I had the same issue and solved it by physically removing the Verizon SIM and reinserting it. Once the iPad connected with the embedded SIM service -- which was T-Mobile for me -- I reinserted the Verizon SIM. Now the iPad let's me swtich cellular data plans again.
I had the same issue on at&t, and the solution was the same as posted above.
Powered on, I ejected the SIM card, went to setting and saw my now deactivated t-mobile esim plan, then reinserted my at&t sim and now can switch between them again.

II don’t have a plan now and am on Orange France but it can hurt to try removing the SIM.

WOW ! You guys are genius ! IT WORKED
You are right, although mine was fine for a few hours, until I rebooted the iPad. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Correct , I have rebooted my iPad and. It’s gone again.
The good thing is that it’s not a feature that was removed by but a bug that can be reported and fixed.
I’m going to do so myself.
Done. Here is a link to iPad feedback for you to do the same. The more the merrier

12.1.1 beta seems to have fixed this
EDIT actually never mind. The option is there now but I get an error saying it cant connect to the server when I do it
EDIT EDIT Never mind again. The iPad I was trying this from was purchased from a carrier who disabled the embedded sim. It’s working just fine on my other iPad which has an active embedded sim

Thanks. Hopefully it will be a quick release for this next version, but I can live with ejecting the sim on the off chance I need to use an embedded one.
