OMG this is so cute, Apple is including the original SIM ejector that once came with original iPhone

[sniffies]

What a blast from the past! And a nice touch and homage to the original iPhone and Steve Jobs's memory! Made me a little emotional even. Ah, the memories...

I'll definitely be cherishing it

 

[Starfyre]

What kind of a thread is this?

Are the sim ejectors different between generations? Pictures please?

 

[MacDevil7334]

That’s the same tool that has always come with SIM free iPhones. I have had several over the years. They have always looked the same.

 

[saltd]

that ejector pin got him right in the feels

 

[rawCpoppa]

lol what.

 

[blindside217]

In the US it has only come with the SIM free version in the last several years but in other countries it is still included in all iPhones.

 

[shooter03]

yeah nothing special there, I get one in every iPhone I've ever gotten, I'm in Australia.

 

[CaptMarvel]

At least now I can pop out the one that comes with it and insert my current one to avoid the $25 upgrade fee more easily.

Incorrect. This is not an "Homage" to Steve Jobs at all. It's a Sim ejector tool. That's it.

I got the same sim tool on my 3G, 4, 5, 6, 7+ And soon to be 10. (Canada)

Not sure what you’re talking about.

Better than using a paper clip for sure...rigidity

 

[rmeadejr]

i wish they kept the sim ejector in the US boxes. does anyone know why they stopped including them?

The original iPhone actually came with a paper clip.

 

[smbu2000]

They’ve come with all of the iPhones that I’ve purchased (in Japan.) Both carrier versions and sim-free versions. I was pretty surprised when I bought a Sprint iPhone SE and it didn’t have one.

 

[Shirasaki]

Maybe for US customer they have a chance to not have one.
But for pretty much rest of the world, customer will have such a tool included anyway.

 

[swinery]

apple is also including the iphone x in a box, neat easter egg for the longtime fans

Just no

I'm guessing some bean counter. They probably cost a penny or so. With over 1 billion iphones sold, at a penny extra per unit, it adds up to 10 million dollars, not exactly chicken feed. Then there's the liability issue of someone swallowing one of this extractors.

He's taking the piss out of people here who worship Apple a little too hard.

Common theme in his threads.

 

[goobot]

If only it also came with a cloth and dock too.

Exactly what I was thinking.

The story goes that as Apple became more Eco aware and began to focus on recycling and reducing packaging waste. In the USA, since the vast majority of iPhone are sold as carrier specific models, it became just another obsolete item that was easy to remove from the packaging. The bulk of the customers in the USA never had a need for this function specific tool.
