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
is there a name for the superfine point ones?
I guess it’s called a SIM card eject pin tool, but you’ll usually find them in cell phone toolkits.
some are thicker or thinner than others. some phones have a superthin hole. so some ejectors or a paperclip won’t work (for some phones).
maybe the superthin variety is the most common variety out there. but i have a collection and they are nearly all thick.
there must be an everyday item that functions as a makeshift alternative.
Certain plastic toothpicks work.
For a Korean, the hole doesn’t need to be that big
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.
The chosen one!
I have a lifehack for this:

Got it a 7 years ago, haven’t lost the ejector since… Even amazes myself everytime I need it and it’s still there… 😅 Before this mine usually didn’t last a week.

More like 7 years of occasional surprise it’s still there. 😅😂

Ngl, every time I go look for it out of need I totally expect it to be long gone. I might physically look at it every time I open my wallet, but it became so much part of the ‘background’ that I never actually see it at those times. 😅

That wallet has seen some serious shit.
Yeah, I urgently need a new one but I keep postponing and forgetting. 😅 It used to be a cheap fake leather one which looked cool, has a crocodile head on the outside in it, and just plainly looked cool. Now, 5 years later, all the leather, except for the crocodile head, has proven to be a thin layer that has come off over time and what remains is a completely exposed (again, except for the crocodile head) black rubbery underlayer. 😅 Oh, well, it cost me €5 or something, I guess 5 years was a good service at that price…
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. . . . .
. . .
. . Money is why
You can replace phone batteries. It’s not that hard. It’s just harder than sliding it in.
It costs $15 plus the battery cost to have a professional with warranty to do it for you.
Now what is that?
It’s a tool to remove the SIM card from a phone
SIM tray opener tool for smartphones. It’s pretty small
You need one of these to swap out sim cards on mobile devices
i usually grab a breadboard jumper wire and shove it in my sim card slot 😂
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 mean, they fit on a keychain, which is fucking great; Sadly, they stab you through the pants pocket so they’re fucking rude.
I’m very responsible
I thought there was a hole in your hand I didn’t see the metal. I just saw straight through them. Wtf
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.
Evolution
IMHO the one in the middle is the most comfortable to use.
Damn, I have never seen any of these shapes before.
I have something like 100 of these in a draw in my home office. Along with a straightened paperclip as a backup.
i have s few dozen straightened paper clips and then a couple of those hidden away for the particularly stubborn sim trays
What if we’re sure it’s around here somewhere, just not sure where?
Mine is in a safe deposit box in Budapest. You can never be too cautious.
I just randomly found mine the other day.
How often are you dudes changing SIMs? I only ever do it when I get a new phone, and they always come with one.
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.
Why do you have to reset your keyboard, future boy?
