This is in contrast to an experience around a year ago, where the eSIM failed to activate on the new device, and I had to visit an Etisalat store on my return to Dubai - so perhaps something has changed since.
I'm picking up my iPhone 15 Pro from the Apple Store tonight (unless something goes wrong), so will be doing exactly this. Will keep you posted - allegedly it should work, but Etisalat tends to add their own "flavour". Hopefully it doesn't hose the old eSIM, and fail to provision the new one, but let's see ?
I do wonder if I'm just being stupid here, and could save myself some misery by just waiting til the weekend to make the switch. Or I guess just buy an Airalo for the new iPhone and keep the old one in reserve... Hm, you got me thinking now ?
Unfortunately I have the same issue and I am right now outside UAE and after removing the old eSIM ( according to procedure in apple and etisalat ) it shows that the activation not supported and I have to contact etisalat ( by the way I tried the simple way which is transfer but also was failed .

The validity period of an eSIM is typically calculated from the date eSIM was activated or installed.
Therefore, if you want to use eSIM, it is recommended that you check the expiration date and data capacity in advance and purchase it.
Maaltalk recommends installing and activating this sim when you arrive at your destination,
If the validity expires during the trip,
You must extend the expiration date or purchase a new eSIM.
The time it takes for eSIM to be activated may vary depending on the mobile carrier's policy, so it may take several hours to activate even after completing the QR scan. Therefore, if the QR code does not work, we recommend that you do not delete it and wait for about an hour. If it doesn't work even after waiting, or if it doesn't work after trying all of the methods below, please contact Maltalk support team.
1.Turn on data roaming and GPS and turn airplane mode off and on.
Data roaming is a feature that allows your device to connect to cellular networks outside your country or region. Additionally, GPS determines your current location. So, if you are traveling and cannot connect to a network, turn on data roaming and GPS will enable eSIM and enable you to use it properly.
2. Please check if it's a eSIM that needs to be opened
In the case of deliberation that requires the opening of esim, you must enter the opening date or contact us to request an opening data. Please check whether the eSIM requires an opening date on the eSIM details page you purchased.

Resetting the network settings can be a solution to the network issues on your Phone. Resetting it will make the device forget every Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth connection, and VPN setting it has ever used.
5.Manually select a carrier
Manually select your mobile carrier if the automatically selected carrier does not work in some countries,
select carrier manually, try changing it and check if the Internet is available after 1-2 minutes.
6.Turn off Low Data Mode
Low Data Mode may conflict with some carriers and complicate your eSIM functionality. As a solution, I suggest you disable Low Data Mode on your deviece when encountering eSIM-related issues.
If your device is iPhone, Limiting IP Address Tracking is a new feature that, in some circumstances, is enabled by default and stops your device from connecting to a cellular network.
There are chances that the eSIM provider you currently use does not support this feature. To turn off the same on your device, follow the instructions below.
If eSIM is not activated or an error occurs when scanning, another eSIM may already be installed,
so please check whether another eSIM has been active in cellular of the smartphone settings.
