I was just trying to compare sizes of the micro sim and regular sim cards sizes but my sim tray wouldn't open. Has anyone else has this problem or if you hadn't tried to open it could you PLEASE try, so I could see if something is wrong with my iPhone 4.
Got a tip for us?

I had a problem opening mine also. I used the SIM tool from my 3GS and had to push really hard to open it.
Same here - took a ton of pressure to get it to pop open. Good thing you don't have to get in there very often. Kinda bummed that the iphone 4 didn't come with a SIM tool either - looks like you'll need a really small paper clip to fit in that hole.
It does (or at least mine does) come with a SIM tool.
It's in the white envelope with the instructions.
That sim card is really small though! I still have the ejector that came with the 3GS.
i think yours didnt come with it, i saw some unboxings on youtube and all of the unboxings from america didnt have the eject tool but i saw an international unboxing and it had it so mabey some do and some dont?
Kinda cheesy that they didn't include them. Wonder why. I have a spare anyway but they're really easy to lose. Maybe they don't want people popping them out and putting t-mobile SIMs in there after unlocking
.I'm getting sick of all these absolute type threads. The iPhone 4 sim tray does open, nothings wrong with it (at least in general). I used a paperclip and it slid right out with ease. If you're having a problem, then state yours isn't opening, don't generalize it in the title.
If you are wondering why they made it this way, its becuase when you dropped your iphone 1st gen through 3rd gen after you dropped it many times it would say no sim installed. Tis helps stop that problem yes it will happen but not as often and may not ever happen to you.
Just Push
It's easy once you realise that you push into the hole rather than try to hook it out. If you push it pops out enough to grab it.

Not always. My iPhone 4 was very easy but my iPhone 4S was a very unfriendly player.
It took quite a bit of pressure to get the SIM tray to open the iPhone 4S, lots of steady pressure.

Sim tray that does not open
I had to use a paper clip that was thicker than a normal paperclip. It has to fill up the hole in order to make the tray come out.
