With the launch of the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple is doubling down on its shift toward digital-only connectivity. For travelers and power users, understanding how to set up an eSIM—including with providers like RORO eSIM—is more important than ever. Here's your step-by-step guide to get connected, starting right after unboxing.
Apple continues its transition to eSIM-only designs. The iPhone 17, and especially the Pro and Pro Max models, are sold without physical SIM trays in many regions, including select countries in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Removing the SIM tray allowed Apple to enhance other components—such as slightly larger batteries for better video playback. Apple’s embrace of eSIM mirrors broader industry trends toward convenience, security, and environmental sustainability.
Step-by-Step Setup with a RORO eSIM
Step 1: Purchase and Prepare Your eSIM
Before your trip, go to RORO’s website and select a suitable plan for your travel region.
You’ll receive a QR code instantly—save or screenshot it.
Step 2: Add Your eSIM to the iPhone
Open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (or Set Up Cellular).
Choose “Use QR Code” (or "Other Options" if prompted). Point your device at the code or select it from Photos.
Follow on-screen prompts such as naming the line or setting it as primary or secondary.
Step 3: Optional – Transfer from Another iPhone
If you're moving from an earlier iPhone, bring both devices close together with Bluetooth on (iOS 18.4+ required). You’ll be prompted to transfer your plan directly.
Step 4: Activate and Test Your Connection
Once added, enable the eSIM line within Cellular settings.
Make sure Data Roaming is turned on for travel use if applicable.
Test connectivity via a quick call, message, or web check.
Step 5: Manage Usage Mid-Trip
Use RORO’s app or My SIMs dashboard to monitor data usage and top up if necessary.
