No SIM eject tool in my box?

[Newtons Apple]

not true, as many other iPhone owners have received their tool in the box.


Not true also, I have bought an unlocked iPhone 6 from US, and it didn't have the tool ..


... and how to you insert your SIM? magic?


totally agree: the phone is big bucks .. the tool is merely cents .. I mean .. come on ...


Agreed: my colleagues have bought the new iPhone from UK and all of their phones came with a sim tool.
Mine is from the states, and it does not have it ..


word!

So much consternation from a newbie.

Not a big deal, haven't got a pin since the iPhone 4s,5,5s, and 6.
Paper clip just does the work!

Kept the SIM ejection tool from my iPhone 3GS!

The sim eject tool does make it easier if you dont have a paperclip in front of you . Seems cheap to not include one in every iphone

You carry the sim eject tool around with you or what?

You swap sims enough for this to even matter or what?




Get a paperclip.

Lol I was wondering where mine was! I was kinda pissed actually because I had to take out the Tmoblie sim and put in my ATT sim.

I also think that is wrong that they not include a sim eject tool like before, I have already make a thread about the sim eject tool and the admins decided to delete it, now you have another thread of the same issue are you going to delete it? I never understand why they delete it, maybe because I type that Apple always offer you less for the same money.

For a company with 100 billion or more in the bank it is unfair not to include the same things as before like the sim eject tool. Why it is important because some people are using the sim from their Android to the Iphone, or they already have an iphone and want to use the old sim.

Can you imagine what is the cost for every sim eject tool for Apple? One user said that the total cost for Apple would be less than $80,000 for millions of iphones.

The same could be said about the lack of dock as the first iPhone shipped with one. The fact of the matter is simple, you can't claim to be an environmentally friendly company if your shipping bits of metal that will collect dust.

My T-Mobile 5s also came without the SIM ejector. Our AT&T iPad 3 did include the SIM ejector.

If you looked at last year's iPhone documentation, it said that the SIM ejector was not included in all markets.

My understanding is that the SIM ejector has been Apple's test run for Liquidmetal. Checking the material performance and yield at a small scale on a relatively undemanding application. If the yields aren't up to snuff, it doesn't matter since Apple does not promise a SIM ejector inside every iPhone box.

And it's not like the SIM ejector does something that a simple paper clip can't already do.

I've owned the original iPhone, 3GS, 4, 5 & 6, all AT&T. The only one that came with a SIM eject tool was the 3GS. I still have it.

Such sweeping comments. The true answer is that unlocked iphones (sim free) ship with the tool. If you order anything other than sim free you will not get one. End

I bought my 6 unlocked from Apple. Comes with SIM tool. UK as well.

I do believe the SIM tool comes in EVERY iPhone box sold in the UK, regardless if it's locked to a network.

Feel sorry for you Americans lol

Amazing! Three pages about a paper clip. Unbelievable.

There is a SIM ejection tool in all the Scandinavian/Nordic delivered iPhones as far as I know about, since changing carrier often here are common, the US is another story in that way, It dosent seem like its that common to change carrier often there.

 

[Bacong]

the full price 5s I bought last year from the Apple store did not come with a tool.

 

[terraphantm]

I've been with ATT since 3GS, they never gave you a sim tool

My ATT 3GS came with one. Iirc they stopped with the 4. Now I think they only include them with SIM free phones.

 

[erzhik]

Why is this thread still going? Unlocked and international iPhones have the ejection tool. Carrier locked iPhones in US don't. If you didn't get one, go buy one. You can buy 10 of them for $1 on Amazon.

There. End of discussion.
