Those who received as a gift or bought their first iPhone face a serious problem when they start working with it. At first glance, it is not known where to insert a SIM card in it. In ordinary smartphones, it is installed under the battery, and new users have no idea how to get into the compartment where it is located. Also, many have heard that standard SIM cards are not suitable for this smartphone. Therefore, the question of how to insert a SIM card into an iPhone should be considered in more detail.
Types of SIM cards used
Depending on the generation, different types of SIM cards are used in Apple smartphones. At present, perforations can be found on SIM cards to make it more compact. Thus, you can reduce its size to microsim, which is used in smartphones of the 4 series and below. Beforehow to insert a SIM card into an iPhone, read the user manual. Usually you can find information about the required type of card in it. The Apple 5 and 6 series smartphones use an even smaller SIM card, which the manufacturer calls nanosim. Its difference from the previous version is a more compact size by reducing the amount of plastic around the chip, as well as reducing its thickness.
Cutting the SIM card
Before inserting a SIM card into the iPhone, you need to prepare it. This can be done in several ways:
• Cutting the SIM card with a special device that will do it most accurately.
• Replacing the SIM card with your mobile operator in the office.• Self pruning.
For owners of Apple Series 4 devices, all modern SIM cards are perforated, and cutting will not be difficult. The greatest difficulties await the owners of more advanced devices of the 5th and 6th series. To insert a SIM card into the iPhone 5, you need to cut it as much as possible. It is quite difficult to do this on your own, since it is very easy to damage the chip. It is also necessary to grind off a little thickness of the plastic with sandpaper. iPhone users, when cutting the card themselves, are advised to leave more plastic around the chip than necessary, and then adjust the size with a needle file.
