Opening an iPhone SIM slot is simple, even for those new to tech. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a pro looking to troubleshoot network issues during an online game, here’s how to do it right:
Step 1: Identify Your iPhone Model

iPhone 11/X/8/7/6: Requires a SIM-ejector tool (included in the box) or a paperclip.

Step 2: Open the SIM Slot
For iPhone 12/13/14/15:
Gently press the side where the SIM tray is located.
The tray will pop up slightly. Use your fingernail to pull it out.

Locate the small hole near the top or bottom edge (check Apple’s manual if unsure).
Push the ejector tool into the hole until the tray pops up.
Alternatively, bend a paperclip into a U-shape and insert it into the hole.
Step 3: Insert/Replace Your SIM Card
Nano-SIM (iPhone 12+): Place the SIM into the tray’s gold-colored slot.
Nano/Micro-SIM (older models): Align the notch on the SIM with the tray’s outline.

eSIM (if supported): Follow your carrier’s setup guide via Settings > eSIM.
