Apple iPhone SIM Tool SLICED MY THUMB

*I DIDN'T POKE MYSELF*

The inside of the sim tool (marked below) sliced my finger as I was demonstrating how to use one. It came from a brand new iPhone SE 2020 right from the box. As I pushed the sim tool into the tray hole, my finger slid along the sim tool and the inside of the tool cut me. WHY IS THIS SHARP?! I bled pretty bad believe it or not and this is outrageous! I demand an answer directly from Apple as to why they left the inside of this sim tool so sharp! THIS IS UNSAFE. Imagine a "paper cut" from a piece of brushed metal that wasn't sanded down correctly. IT HURT and it cut deep enough to draw blood for about a good ten minutes. I would never recommend using these sim tools ever.

Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Maybe that will help you in the future.

So what was the point in your post?

First of all, that response was naive. Second, even if it was* operator error, why should I have been cut by this type of tool? There is no reason why Apple should have any sharp edges on this type of tool. Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with my response.

It is operator error, you need to be careful.

I have checked mine and there is no sharp edges.

You're assuming it is operator error. I was using it exactly how it was intended to be used. So, therefore, it is not operator error. However, I don't doubt that yours doesn't have sharp edges. I've used plenty in the past as well in the same manner I used this one and I've been fine. This one in particular had a sharp edge, though. I appreciate your reply as well.

Sounds like user error

When you contact Apple ask them to send a replacement tool and dispose of that one. And see if they will pay you for the cost of vaseline and a band aid.
