Those who received a gift or bought their first "iPhone", at the beginning of work with him face a serious problem. At first glance, it is not known where to insert a SIM card. In ordinary smartphones, it is installed under the battery, and new users have no idea how to get into the compartment where it is located. Also, many have heard that the standard sim card in this smartphone is not suitable. Therefore, the question of how to insert a SIM card into the iPhone is worth considering in more detail.
Types of SIM cards used
Depending on the generation in the smartphone from Apple, different types of SIM cards are used. At the present time on sim-cards one can find perforation to make it more compact. Thus, you can reduce its size to microsim, which is used in smartphones 4 series and below. Before you insert the SIM card into the iPhone, read the user manual. Usually in it you can find information about the type of card you need. In smartphones Apple 5 and 6 series is used even more small sim card, which the manufacturer calls nanosim. Its difference from the previous version is a more compact size by reducing the amount of plastic around the chip, as well as reducing its thickness.
Trim Sim card
Before you insert the SIM card into the iPhone, it is necessary to prepare it. This can be done in several ways:
• Crop the SIM card with a special device that will do it most accurately.
• Change the SIM card from your mobile operator in the office.
• Self-pruning.
For owners of devices Apple 4 series on all modern SIM-cards is provided perforation, and pruning will not be very difficult. The greatest difficulties await owners of more advanced devices 5 and 6 series. To insert a sim card into "iPhone 5", you need to cut it as much as possible. It is difficult to do this on its own, as it is very easy to damage the chip. It is also necessary to grind a bit of the plastic thickness with sandpaper. Users of "iPhone" with self-cropping cards are advised to leave more plastic around the chip than necessary, and then adjust the size with the help of a file.
How to insert a SIM card into the iPhone: instructions
In order to install the SIM card in a special slot, you need to find in the kit a key that can be used to pull out the SIM card holder. To do this, you need to insert the key into the hole on the case, press, and then the card slot will pop out. In order to insert the SIM card into the iPhone 4S, it is necessary to find a hole for the key and a panel on the side of the case of the device. After the compartment under the SIM card is pushed out, it is necessary to enclose a card cut into a microsim and install it back. After this procedure, if done correctly, the phone will detect the card and register in the network. Similarly, you can insert a SIM card into "iPhone 6", the only difference is the location of the compartment under the card. It is located at the top, near the power button, and into it a map, trimmed to nanosim.
What to do if there is no special key in the phone bundle
Many users are faced with a situation where the key for installing the SIM card is lost. The fact is that this is a very small accessory and it is easy to drop out of the box and lose, for example, when checking the device in the store. Replace the special key easily with a regular paper clip, which you need to slightly unbend. Open the compartment carefully, so as not to damage the device. Installation of a SIM card in "iPhone" usually does not make much effort. Trimming a sim card when it is necessary to obtain nanosim is best entrusted to specialists in the communication salon or to exchange its old SIM card to the one ready at the operator's office. To date, due to the wide distribution of Apple devices, large companies providing communication services are making maps suitable for these smartphones.
In conclusion, a curious fact. IPhone smartphones appear in a variety of movies and TV shows, but as a rule, the phone model has no connection with the storyline and is chosen, most likely, by chance. For example, in The Big Bang Theory, Dr. Kutrapali managed to fall in love with Siri, a voice assistant to the iPhone communicator. Often, the appearance of a familiar logo on the screen or in the literature is a well-planned advertising campaign.
