No sim card removal tool with iphone 6?

I called Apple Support and told them about it- they rep said that we don't get a sim card removal pin with the 6, but all the unboxing videos had the pins in them. Is this true, though?

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

So You don't get this with your iPhone box? Because I got this with my iPhone 4 box. Maybe they've changed it since then. Either case a paper clip solved my problem 😀 Thanks!

Why my iphone 5 came with manual and eject tool?


See the picture:

If you call a small getting started pamphlet a "manual" then yes, you're right. iPhones used to come with them and apparently now don't. But, the actual manual has never been included, as noted above.


The SIM tool ONLY comes with SIM free phones. Phones that come with carrier SIMs don't have them. However, you can use the same one that came with your iPhone 5.


Time to get over it and move on with important things..

I was talking about the basic manual.

Sorry man but when you accept fault/defectives easily you are contributing with degradation of quality.

I live in a country where I see it in every where.

"degradation of quality"? If your phone wouldn't turn on, or maybe exploded while trying to make a phone call I'd be concerned. But the lack of a SIM card extractor? Please post questions and concerns, not vent 1st world problems here. You're also free to reference my post above with a perfectly good SIM extractor substitute to the "degradation of quality" in your new shiny iPhone 😉

Ok, let me ask something to you: when Apple makes 4 actualization in less than 2 months? Too many bugs perhaps. Unfortunately Apple is losing your differential it is sad!

That doesn't even make any sense. What are actualizations???? What do they have to do with your lost Sim Removal Tool? Or you missing non existent 'manual'?????

Glad I wasn't the only one thoroughly confused by that post..... all I could think was an autocorrect fail of some sort.

I am not a man, thank you.


No, there is no degradation in quality; there is a conservation of materials, of packaging weight saving fuel (even small amounts of weight add up over millions of phones). Apple is being responsible. And, obviously, you don't need the getting started pamphlet (calling it a manual is silly) as you're on at least your second iPhone. That fact that you're this unhappy over a glorified paperclip and a tiny piece of paper is bordering on the absurd.

All handsets come with the pin. It can be found within the booklet, stuck to the white card that covers it. 100% sure though. I have sold a lot of the devices in stock and used the pin that comes with them to place the new sim cards in the devices.

No, they don't. Phones intended for specific carriers that have a SIM preinstalled do not come with one.

Today I have unboxed an iPhone SE Rose Gold, bought from flipkart.com (India) and didn't found the sim-card-remover-PIN as well the user manual + Apple stickers as well.

Thanks,
