I love these super simple videos because I help a bunch of older people with their tech and this helps me think of things I would never think I need to tell somebody but it’s beyond obvious to me.

Instructions unclear, I ended up putting the sim tray in the oven and the baking tray in my iPhone.

Absolutely helpful didn’t know that I can take out the sim tray with a paper clip

You can also use a thumbtack if you can’t find a paper clip

My daughter has an iphone 11. I used a paperclip and it does have to be done on top of a hard surface (like a table), push it in hard enough it will pop open.

guys major tip if you are having issues doing this with a paper clip just grab some toilet paper wrap a couple layers around to make the grip for the paper clip better and you will easily be able to pop that sim card tray open

[Mokhtar]

It’s really pro tip, I stuck in this problem for years, thanks apple for the genius video

[gooer]

When I'm on my iPad it would turn off by itself and then would go into the Apple logo screen then turn back and then reaper a few times
It only happens when I play games like roblox or something

Be careful. You can literally cut your finger on that sim tray😑😑😑. Happened when I was switching from my 6 to my new 11. Never had an iPhone attack me before. My finger bled like hell
