Why doesn't iphone4S have a sim removal tool?

I know I can use a paper clip but my friend said his came with a tool for ATT and mine didn't for Sprint
Usually when I get a replacement using Applecare it comes with the plastic bag that contains the sim eject tool.
I prefer using one of those headphone jack plugs.
It also doubles as a sim tray eject tool and its always there if you need it.
Got an earring? Use that. Got a girlfriend? Use her earring.
Or if you work somewhere that you use a name tag you could use that too
Or get them on eBay there pretty cheap

I thought they all did. It's inside a little plastic thing that folds out and also contains documentation.

That may just be perfect. Thanks for the suggestion.

My earring posts are pretty slender and don't seem to work very well unfortunately. Right now we're just trying to keep track of the key that came with my iPad since the others have gone missing. Haha
I think I may look into the earphone plug as that can serve dual uses and be less likely to get lost.

I imagine that out of the millions of phones they sell only a tiny fraction of a piece of a percentage would actually use it. Thus it wouldn't be practical or cost-effective.

I got one with my iPhone 4S purchased through Three in the UK. I didn't even expect one to be there, so I was confused about what it was when I first saw it! I thought it was a nice touch and really made getting that SIM slot open pretty easy.
In the US, they include one if they send you a replacement phone, so you can swap out the SIM with your data plan from the dead phone and put it into the new one. Ask me how I know... but all's well that ends well. Anyway it's true a paperclip or similar item will work.
