Hi,

Long story short: I had my iphone X replaced by Apple care for a new one because it had a broken speaker, so I sent them back my old phone and installed the one, only to find out, that every 20-2 minuts, completely random, the sim card ejects. Then there's a message "no sim installed". A simple hardware eject and re-insert fixes the problem for a few minutes, before it happens again, sometimes in a matter of seconds, sometimes half an hour.
I got a new sim card, to no avail.
Obviously Apple is sending me another replacement phone, but it can take a few days till it gets here, and I relay heavily on my phone... so does anyone have ANY ideas what could help maybe? Is it possible to somehow clean the sim tray or so? Don't want to damage the phone further obviously, and maybe I should just sit and wait, but it's extremely frustrating when I leave the home wifi, and connection keeps interrupting ALL the time...
