Those who received a gift or bought their first "iPhone", when starting to work with it, face a serious problem. At first glance, it is not known where to insert the SIM card in it. In ordinary smartphones, it is installed under the battery, and newly-minted users have no idea how to get into the compartment where it is located. Also, many have heard that standard SIM cards in this smartphone are not suitable. Therefore, the question of how to insert a SIM card into the "iPhone" should be considered in more detail.
Types of used SIM cards
Depending on the generation, various types of SIM cards are used in the Apple smartphone. Currently, on SIM cards, you can find perforation to make it more compact. Thus, you can reduce its size to microsim, which is used in smartphones 4 series and below. Before inserting a SIM card into the "iPhone", read the user manual. Usually in it you can find information about the required type of card. 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.
SIM card cropping
Before you insert a SIM card into the "iPhone", you must prepare it. There are several ways to do this:
• Trimming a SIM card using a special device that will do this most accurately.
• Replace the SIM card with your mobile operator in the office.
• Self-cutting.
For owners of Apple 4 Series devices, all modern SIM cards provide for perforation, and trimming 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 in “iPhone 5”, you need to trim it as much as possible. It is quite difficult to do it yourself, since it is very easy to damage the chip. It is also necessary to grind a little thickness of the plastic with sandpaper. Users of “iPhone”, when cutting the card themselves, are advised to leave more plastic around the chip than necessary, and then adjust the size using a file.
How to insert a SIM card into the "iPhone": instructions
In order to install the SIM card in a special slot, you need to find the key in the kit, with which it is possible to pull out the SIM card holder. To do this, you need to insert the key into the hole on the case, press, and then the card slot will slide out. In order to insert a SIM card into the “iPhone 4S”, you need to find the key hole and panel on the side of the device. After the SIM card slot slides out, you need to insert the card trimmed to microsim into it and install it back. After this procedure, if everything is done correctly, the phone will detect the card and register on the network. Similarly, you can insert a SIM card in the "iPhone 6", the only difference is the location of the compartment under the card. It is located on top, near the power button, and in it there is a card, cut to nanosim.
What to do if there is no special key in the telephone set
Many users are faced with a situation where the key to install a SIM card is lost. The fact is that this is a very small accessory and it is easy to drop it out of the box and lose it, for example, when checking the device in the store. It is easy to replace the special key with a regular paper clip, which you need to slightly straighten. It is worth opening the compartment carefully so as not to damage the device. Installing a SIM card in the "iPhone" is usually not difficult. If you need to obtain nanosim, it is best to entrust the SIM card trimming to specialists in the communication salon or exchange your old SIM card for a ready-made one in the operator’s office. At the moment, due to the widespread distribution of Apple devices, large communication service companies are making cards suitable for these smartphones.
In conclusion, a curious fact. IPhone smartphones appear in many films and TV shows, but, as a rule, the phone model does not have a connection with the storyline and is most likely chosen by chance. For example, in The Big Bang Theory, Dr. Kutrapali managed to fall in love with Siri, the voice assistant for the iPhone communicator. Often the appearance of a familiar logo on a screen or in literature is a well-planned advertising campaign.
