Ejecting SIM Card Trays: A Comparison Between iPhone 3GS and iPad 3G

Hello YouTube, it's Detroit Borg and today we're going to take a closer look at the SIM card trays on the iPhone 3GS and the iPad 3G. We'll be using a paper clip to eject the trays, as we don't have the SIM card ejection tool that came with the devices.

As we can see, the SIM card tray on the iPhone is built into the top of the device. All we need to do is stick an object into the top hole and it pops out. Unfortunately, my iPhone is complaining that there's no SIM card installed, which means I have no service right now. This allows us to see the SIM card tray coming out of the iPhone, and we can clearly see that it's made of plastic.

The original iPhone model does not have a nice aluminum tray like the iPad 3G, so let's take a look at the tray in the iPad 3G. This one is harder to get out than the iPhone tray, as it doesn't eject as easily and seems to be tighter-fitting. However, once we manage to get it out, we can see that it's very tiny compared to the SIM card tray on the iPhone.

Now, let's take a look at the comparison between the two trays. As we can see, there is a significant difference in size between the micro SIM and mini SIM cards. The micro SIM is called so because it's smaller than the standard SIM card. On the other hand, the mini SIM is simply referred to as a mini SIM.

Looking at the back side of both SIM cards, we can see that they look slightly different. The area where the iPhone and iPad interface with each other has a similar design on both devices. However, it seems that all you need to do is cut this part to size in order for the micro SIM to fit perfectly into the tray. This means that if you have a device that uses the same technology as the iPhone and iPad, you should be able to insert the micro SIM card with ease.

Currently, the iPad 3G is the only device in the US using these micro SIM cards, making them somewhat hard to get your hands on. It's also worth noting that AT&T is the only carrier besides this one using micro SIM cards in the US right now. So, if you're looking to upgrade or purchase a new device with a micro SIM card slot, you may need to look elsewhere.

With that said, let's stick the SIM cards back into the iPad 3G. The moment we do so, it should automatically recognize the new SIM card and provide service once again. Let's try this on my iPhone as well. Once I put the SIM card back in, my iPhone should be able to connect to AT&T 3G once more.

And that's all for today's video. I hope you enjoyed learning about the differences between the SIM card trays on the iPhone 3GS and the iPad 3G. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to like and subscribe for more content from Detroit Borg!
