Other Sim Card Tray Tool - iPhone Xs Max

[Morphilic]

Is anybody else missing the tool in your new iphone box?

Mine has the slot for it in the envelope with the stickers but no tool anywhere.

I checked everywhere already and there is no way it dropped out.

Would the apple store be able to get me one?

They haven’t provided one for eons. I’m surprised yours even had a spot for it, mine sure didn’t. I had one hanging around the house from previous phones.

You can get a box of 100 at Staples.

Only comes with Sim Free models.

My XS Max SIM free version had the tool. I believe only the SIM free versions have them still, since all the carrier models are meant to be used with the installed SIM card.

Try a small paper clip...

Paper clip worked fine for me when I swapped it out. FWIW

I have one and I got my phone from Verizon.

Not true my wife's XS had the tool and the phone came with a tool and I saw many unboxing videos and the tool was in the package. The tool is important especially if you are swapping sim from your old phone and for future use...

Nope, my ATT sim XSM came with one. Last year however, my 8+ didn’t. Could be a random thing.

Guess it’s more random now, maybe because they are all the same model.

Anyway to the OP, just use a small paperclip.

Nope. Mine came with a Verizon sim and a removal tool. Just like my iPhone, iPhone 3g, 3GS, 4...7 plus,x etc.

Sometimes they are easier to find than others in the packaging, but every year my box has had one.

Gotcha, my at&t models never had one. Sim Free always has, who knows.

The sim tool if you do get it is great

That liquid alloy or whatever it is. It’s really strong and not gonna bust up your sim tray poking in that eject hole

I’ve destroyed two sim trays with a flaky paperclip (my fault but would prefer to not again anytime soon)

Apple always has and still does provide the sim tray tool in the box. At least in Canada - may be different elsewhere.

My first few models were att. Back then they had em. But then att got ornery about locking, even with the iPad Esim. Evil sometimes prevails.

Att sucks.

All my past VZW iPhones never came with one, and I have kept every box and all their contents and I doubled checked tonight. This is the first year I ever got one. If you are in desperate need on them, you can buy 10 of them for $2 on ebay with free shipping.

Mine came with one. (AT&T).
I've had every iPhone since the original and there have only been 2 or 3 that didn't include it in the box.

 

[bizack]

They all come with one - it's even on Apple's website when you look under 'what comes in the box?'

My T-Mobile XS Max has one. It's tucked away inside the documentation sleeve.

 

[Morphilic]

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Mine is a ATT 256GB model thru the iPhone upgrade program in the US.

I guess it might be random and I'm just unlucky this time. The last time I got a tool was with my 3GS back in the day.

I have just seen so many unboxing vids this time around with em in the box...

It DOES happen. Hey, at least the phone was in the box.

It’s hidden where the appl stickers are in the documentation. You’ll find it in that little package. I couldn’t find mine either until
I finally looked there. Let us know if you find it.
