Apple iPad’s Tiny SIM Is Just There to Mess With You
They offer a simple solution...
“There is no difference between the functionality or design of a micro
SIM card, when compared to a regular SIM card — the only difference is
the size of the extra plastic surrounding the chip,” confirmed
Carrara. “Cutting the plastic around [a SIM card] and putting it in a
new device is not endangering anything. What it’s probably going to do
is that people will probably not cut the plastic properly, and the
contacts won’t match on the device, and therefore it won’t perform,
but that’s not a problem. You can lose your SIM today and go to the
operator and get a new one.”
I continue to be amazed that the folks on this list would expect a
tech leader to introduce a new product and fill it with old
technologies.
