Got the new iPhone 13. Opened SIM card "door". Now I cannot open iPhone 11 SIM card Door. I stick the pin in the hole and nothing will happen

It takes a pretty hard push.


That said, don't use the sim card from an iPhone 11 in an iPhone 13. An iPhone 11 sim card is not a 5G card. Either get a new Sim card from your carrier provisioned for 5G service or contact your cellular provider and have them set up your phone number on your new phone using the eSim built into the phone. I don't have a sim card in my 13 Pro or 13 Pro Max and eSim is fantastic.
