I have an iPhone 3GS and intend to buy a new 4S from my local Apple Store.
Will they trim the SIM down to micro size or have I got to buy a pupose-built cutter from Amazon?

Neither. Go to your network provider and ask them to provide you with a suitable SIM and switch your account over to it. MicroSIMs are widely available from all official iPhone network providers and many others.
The 'circuitry' on a SIM card is often not accurately positioned and trimming it may often damage vital parts of the SIM. Get a new MicroSIM from your provider.
All new iPhones come with a new sim card already installed, always been that way, but if your planning on purchasing a factory unlocked iPhone and using it with another provider then your provider could give/sell you a new microsim or you could cut your existing sim to size. I done the latter when traveling and buying a local sim. There are templates you can download and print but I often use my own micosim as the template and cut it with a sharp sizors and a razor blade.
Will an Apple Store trim down a SIM card?
