Only Satan would design a hole that is smaller than the end of a bent paperclip when the entire purpose of the hole is to put something into it.
How else can you sell an iPoker 4X?
You're still using the 4X? Lol, get yourself an 8Max and thank me later.
An earring pokey works too, just wipe off any schmutz
I just realized that each phone comes with one and only one of SIM ejectors, and I have a lot of those in my drawer. I think I have a problem. -_-
You're responsible for everything!!!
Most screw-driver kits like the IFixIt kits, include a sim-eject head.
I keep one on my keys since it's useful for pushing reset buttons and things and if I really need to it even works as a screwdriver
Someone told me this a few years ago. Absolute pro life tip!
I have like 7 of these in a container next to me. I don't think responsible is the word that would be associated with that behaviour.
PS - paperclips work fine for this purpose.
I noticed my phone battery bulging just yesterday. So I went and dug up the documentation that came with it to see if I could take advantage of the manufacturer's warranty. No dice, but the sim card tray ejector thing was in with the user's manual. So at least I have that. :/
Check out ifixit.com - your phone might be pretty repairable. It's crazy that companies stopped making phones with replaceable batteries.
Not that much. . . . .

I mean, they fit on a keychain, which is fucking great; Sadly, they stab you through the pants pocket so they're fucking rude.
I just bought a new phone and put it next to the other four I have.
You're either really good at holding onto those things, or really good at losing/breaking phones
I have a Moonlander split keyboard that is programmable and uses one of these little things for its reset button. My only gripe with it is that they could have designed a place for it to slot into the keyboard itself since it's very easy to lose it if it isn't otherwise attached to something.
i usually grab a breadboard jumper wire and shove it in my sim card slot 😂
You guys aren't just using eSIMs?
As someone traveling to other countries a few times a year, eSims have been a game changer.
aka fancy paperclip
I fixit gang. If you did not know, some of the ifixit kits have a screwdriver bit that is just for that
I have a screwdriver bit set that just includes one of those, very tightly secured. Whoever was responsible for ensuring this was neccessary: You are a hero.
....I used mine to clean my ears.
this made me feel good about myself, thanks
I still have it and now phone is eSIM only. But I can’t bring myself to throw it out.
I have something like 100 of these in a draw in my home office. Along with a straightened paperclip as a backup.
How often are you dudes changing SIMs? I only ever do it when I get a new phone, and they always come with one.
Just tuck it into your phone case if you can. Easy solution to always have it when you need it.
