iPhone5 have removable sim?

If the sim card is removable where is the slot? Would the removeable sim iPhone5 be sold in the US or only overseas. I had to wait forever for Apple to sell the unlocked removable sim iPhone4 in the states.

Hope you are correct, but there is nothing in Apples information anywhere about removable sims and definitely no photo of an iPhone5 with a slot on the right side. I sure don't want to buy an iPhone5 only to get stuck with a phone I cannot replace the sim as I travel international. Maybe when the pre-order site opens there will be more info...

True, but the same page that shows the unlocked iPhone5 on Apple Canada/Ausralia or UK is not the same as on the US site. I have a felling that I'm going to have to go across the border to buy the unlocked iPhone5. It took Apple a long time to offer the same from the states.

I don't need glasses and I can read. However, the only hint of a sim is that small dot in the photo. On the US site no where is there an option to purchase the phone outright. Nor an option to buy an unlocked iPhone5 as there is on Candian, Aussie or British sites.

Go to the US site and dig ... there is zip about a sim location, not even on the tech specs page.

It is simple for me. I do not take contracts with any carrier in the US or other wise. I buy the phone outright ... which at this point is not even listed on the Apple site.

There mention of the GSM sim card if you buy the phone online in the Q&A section. But, no where else is it mentioned. I'm hoping that changes once pre-orders actuallyopen and you can see options.

I'm not trolling, just trying to find basic info. There are some differences between the national sites.

Carl,

I was not trolling and I was not trying to be rude. I only wanted to find out if anyone found something hidden in the small print that I had missed. One reason I was late in getting an iPhone at all was the fact that unti mid-2011 Apple did not sell an unlocked iPhone4 in the US.

I more than understand that the iPhone5 comes with a mirco-sim card. However, when you are outside the US there is conflcting information as to whether the sim card in on the side or inside the back panel. The only photo is the one with the small hole by the finger in the main page photo. If you look at the tech specs the sim card location is not pointed out.

Nor is there from what I can find any mention of an unlocked iPhone5 on the US site. Except for the Q&A. Under a question about when I buy does the phone come ready to use. In that answer it mentions an unlocked phone. Yet, no where could I find that the unlocked phone will be sold in the US. Where as it is immediately clear by looking at the Aussie, UK or Candian country pages .... there is an unlocked phone to purchase out right.

I ended the question because it is clear people are misunderstanding my question. Only thing I can do now is what until the site opens to pre-purchase and see if an unlocked iPhone5 is offered in the US. Or if I will have to go outside the US to make the purchase.

I found out my answer today on the missing information on the US Apple site concerning an unlocked iPhone5.

Apple is not going to offer an unlocked iPhone5 in the US for several months.

The iPhone4 was the 1st version of the iPhone to be offered as unlocked in the US and then it was a full year after the original iPhone4 release. The iPhone4S unlocked was not released in the US more than 6 months after its original release date.

From the information that I received today an unlocked iPhone5 will not be released in the US until late December at the earliest and most likely not until 2013.

Which means if you want an unlocked iPhone5 you will have to get it outside the US.

I could have been wrong about the iPhone4S, but that is what I was told in the Apple Store in Salt Lake yesterday afternoon. I didn't upgrade to the 4S.

As for the iPhone4 ... I made my purchase the day the unlocked phone came out in the US so I know that is date is correct.

Not trying to give out wrong info.
