On the iPhone 12, the SIM card tray is actually located on the right side of the device. You will see a small pinhole – use a SIM tray eject tool or a paperclip to gently push into the hole to release the tray.

Yes there is. We're pretty confident this isn't a real person and they have been bouncing around the forum posting incorrect and useless responses. They are VERY likely as was said, an AI Bot.


And by the way, the two holes you see on the case, are to allow you to attach a lanyard to the case, which is useful for people who tend to drop their phones and would like to carry the phone attached to a lanyard which they carry around their neck. I'm sorry I wasn't around to see the photo you posted after asking for it. But, I should have asked if the phone was in a case when I first responded and indeed it was.

Gentle prodding has proven ineffective. Sometime's you just have to say it without sugarcoating it.

Agreed, users here deserve much more by providing actual Human Knowledge with real world experiences. You are correct that there never is any reply from that user as there is no interest in guiding the OP to a successful resolution if they need any follow up advice. It is just a one and done blah, blah, blah and then move on to the next target. There is no actual Support being provided as they can't maintain any conversation.
