iPhone 6: Install or Remove SIM Card

Mitch BartlettDecember 7, 2018 Comments (4)

It occurred to me, that it is difficult for some people to find where the SIM card slot is on the iPhone 6. So I figured I would make this tutorial to help install or remove the SIM card in the device.

Ejecting SIM Card

  1. Power the iPhone off by pressing and holding the “Sleep/Wake” button until the “slide to power off” switch appears, then swipe the switch left to right.
  2. With the device placed screen up, locate the SIM card tray on the right side of the device.
  3. Insert the end of a paper clip in the SIM card eject hole. The SIM tray should eject.

  4. Remove the SIM card from the SIM card tray.

  3. Gently push the tray face up into the SIM card slot until you hear it click into place.

    I tried to do this as you described, but no little tray pops out when I insert the paper clip and apply slight pressure.
