How To Remove SIM card from iPhone XS

How to remove the SIM slot from iPhone XS. This is a step by step demonstration with a video included for ease of use.

1) The tools you need include the SIM card removal tool included with the iPhone, if you don't have it, a small paper clip will work as well. 


2) Go along the edge of the iPhone XS until you see a small pin hole. It will be tiny so you may not see it right away but if you use a flashlight or go into a well lit room you should be able to spot it.

3) Insert the tool or small paper clip into the pinhole. For me this took a little force to get it to come out but it eventually came out. 


4) Remove the tray, the SIM card sits inside, simply remove it carefully with your finger and replace it with a new one or transfer it to a new iPhone.

Below is a full video demonstration of this process. The video is an Amazon Affiliate link which means if you decide to make a purchase from there, I will receive a small commission from it.
