No sim card removal tool with iphone 6?

This whole conversation has, while however amusing to me, gone on too far. Sorry you didn't get a SIM removal tool, perhaps its only packaged in certain models / carriers / versions (whatever). Or maybe its because 90% of people never knew what it was and threw it away, or never found it in the packaging and threw it away. As stated before, this is the tried and true simple solution 😝

It comes complete 2 years ago, manual, SIM eject tool, ...

I purchase My new iphone 6 in the same place and it comes without the Manual and SIM eject tool. I am not worried about how take out my SIM card. I know do that, I am worried cause some guys here believe that is normal. Sorry guys, but it is not normal. Think in someone purchase your first iPhone, is not nice sait take a clip paper cause the tool that you need don't come with your phone, about the manual you can see later in internet when you discovery how do that. Sorry guys it is not nice. It is not right and I really do not believe that apple could be so dishonest told us that this stuff do not come with iphone 6, sorry but it must be with the phone. I believe there is a law about manuals and do not believe that is possible sell something only with online manual.

You are not talking to Apple, this is a user to user forum.

With that said, No iPhone ever comes with a printed Manual. Manuals are always available from Apple's website in PDF format.

Apple - Support - Manuals

You can download it from there.

As to the Sim Tool as established previously in this thread. If the iPhone comes preinstalled with a sim card then the tool is not packaged in.

If the iPhone is unlocked and sim free, then it does have the sim tool.

In either case, a regular paperclip works just as well.

Tell Apple feedback that is just so bad it makes your phone totally unusable. I would also contact the newspaper, TV stations and Radio. Wha knows when this disaster could strike another buyer. Pretty much unthinkable, really. Also tell SWC.

Do you buy SIM free/unlocked phones? If so, it would make sense to include them. I've had reason to open and activate a lot of iPhones over the last few years. They all came with a pre-installed SIM and no removal tool.

Fortunately, I have a nice tool that came with a Motorola phone. 😉

I've bought a couple on unlocked phones yes. Its possible the tool is only packaged with full priced unlocked phones. Never would have though of that.

I think that's what I've heard. Never bought an unlocked phone myself as I use Verizon as my carrier.

Very well raised issue Aakash.

Quite remarkable observation Lawrence.
Personally I would have loved to have the SIM card removal tool.
This is my 1st and only iPhone, would've liked a complete kit to my satisfaction.

You have what Apple considers the "complete kit". The "SIM removal tool" that Apple includes is, quite literally, the same type of wire as a paperclip? There's no log, nothing special about it at all. The picture shown above is not what it looks like at all anymore.

Very strange. Don't have any of mine around as I tend to lose them so I can't compare. Maybe other people's experiences are different but I only very rarely have reason to remove a SIM.

A paperclip still works just fine, though. 😉

iphone 6 not 5

That doesn't change anything. The SIM removal tool is only included with unlocked phones that don't come with a pre-installed SIM, as already posted in this thread. Whether they be the 6 Pro, the 6, the 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, 4, 3GS, 3 or Original.

Fourth iPhone, here. ALL purchased from ATT. Only my 6 didn't have the tool, and I lost the other ones. What is a paperclip, anyway? Oh, yeah. That silly mascot that Microsoft used to include with Office :-D

Last week I purchased an unlocked iPhone 6 not came with this removal tool. I think that was a fault on production. But the apple support team says: the SIM removal tool no comes with iPhone 6. Worst my new iphone 6 do not come with your manual (my last iPhone 5 came with those two items) was odd don't see the Hello when I pulled the documentation package. I think they must assume the error and send the missing items for everybody that bought a iphone 6 and wants those stuff.

You receive money from apple? Did you pay 800,00 us$ by an phone that you have to ask assistance to put your SIM card in?

What I trying to say here is: the quality of box of iPhone 6 and accessories inside declining quality in comparison with iphone 5 (that come with basic printed manual and SIM remove tool).

No. I volunteer here. Apple gives me absolutely nothing for being here.

I did pay $800 dollars for an iPhone. I did not need to ask for any assistance. Replacing the sim card is simple even without the sim removal tool. Just insert a paperclip. and push. The Try will slide out. The sim removal tool is nothing more than metal piece with small tip to fit in a hole. A paperclip is the same thing.

Nothing has declined. As I said, iPhones have never had printed manuals, ever. And The sim tool only comes with iPhones that have no sim card pre-installed.

This was the case with iPhone 4, iPhone 5 iPhone 5s and now iPhone 6.

You are complaining about things that have always been like this as if they have changed. But they have not.
