Heading over at Christmas time and with them being cheaper over in America I thought it would make sense to get one to bring home to the UK. How easy / hard is it to set up the eSim stuff? Anything else to look out for?

Are you sure it will actually work out much cheaper?
My friend also works for Apple so I can use their discount as well so it is a couple of hundred difference so we’ll worth it when I’m already over there!
eSIM is easy for all the carriers that use them (all the main ones). On O2 they still needed to send me a bit of paper with the QR code on or go into store for it - seems crazy!
Vodafone is much easier - and any time you delete the sim (swapping phones etc) they straight away email you a new one and you’re ready to go.
Something to note, you are liable for import duty and VAT when you bring the device back to the UK. If for any reason you forget to fill in that on your paperwork the new box and cable can help remind HMRC as you go through…… if you happen to keep it.
