Assuming you are able to get to an apple store.  I am fortunate that now I can but sometimes, especially for people living in smaller towns or rural areas it can be difficult.

Janet,

Physical SIM cards are no longer used in iPhone sold in North America.

So, just go to the Apple Store and they will take care of activating your new phone.

    Hi Mark and All,

    Mark, did the Apple Store or did you install your Sem card yourself?

    I am wanting to buy a new phone, but I am not sure if Apple still
    installs the Sem cards, or do I need to go to my phone carrier to
    have them to install the Sem card.

    I don’t really want to take the chance and try to install that
    tiny Sem card myself.

    Kindly,

    Janet

    Hello All,



    I was near one of my local Apple Stores, yesterday, so decided to
    stop in to see if they had the phone I’ve been waiting for.  Lo
    and behold, they did.

    I am now the proud owner of an iPhone 16 Pro Max, 1TB, black on
    black on black on black, of course.

    I think I set a personal purchasing record, yesterday.  We
    actually timed it, although trying to beat some kind of record was
    certainly not my goal.  Okay, the entire purchase process from the
    time when we actually stepped into the store, located a sales
    person, had all of the items brought out including a screen
    protector, case, and a couple of cables, have the screen protector
    installed on the phone, used Apple Pay to buy the items, have a
    receipt both emailed to me and also have a hardcopy of the receipt
    printed, have everything placed in a bag, and exit, the store
    took, get ready for it, 4 minutes and 58 seconds.

    Insane, right????

    And, I might add, it was one of the most pleasant Apple
    experiences I’ve ever had.  The sales person was absolutely the
    best.  And, in no way was the store empty of customers; in fact it
    was comfortably full of customers.

    As we crossed the threshold of the store, back into the mall, an
    also exiting customer said to me, “I’ve never seen anything like
    that; man but that was fast.”  Of course I greeted him and smiled.

    He then asked, “Are you some kind of professional buyer?”  To
    which I replied, “No.  Just a man who knows what he wants and how
    to ask for it.”  Be both laughed and went our separate ways.

    Mark
