New iPhone 3G will have SIM Ejector Tool
A variety of blog posts today have suggested this idea that consumers of Apple’s new iPhone 3G will have to possibly buy and set up the AT&T plan in Apple Stores on July 11th. This process severely slow down lines. But also, a new feature on the iPhone 3G suggests that having iPhones to buy and sell will be much easier this time around.
Let’s say you’ve purchased a new iPhone 3G. You sign-up with AT&T, with what probably will need to be a 2-year contract. Then, Apple updates the iPhone 3G hardware, and you’re once again left with an outdated product (which always seems to be the case with technology). Apple has now created the ability to easily remove your SIM card.
The SIM cards inside cell phones contain all the data and information that cellular telephone companies need to figure who’s calling who and what phone they’re calling from. In other words, the SIM card is your phone’s identity. Without it, you’ll have a deactivated phone that can only dial 911.
Due to this fundamental problem, Apple decided to create the ability to eject your SIM card and then take that with you to another, future iPhone. This ability would suggest that Apple has no problem with you reselling your iPhone and upgrading to the latest and greatest version.
