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)
And Lawrence to the rescue with the definitive answer! 😁
Thanks for that bit of obscure iPhone Trivia Lawrence. Always learning something new at the ASC. 😉
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.
Meg, I guess it depends on where you live. This is what came with my iPhone 6 which is the same as what came with my 5S and 4. As far as I know the tool is still made of LiquidMetal.
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 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.
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.
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.
Why my iphone 5 came with manual and eject tool?
See the picture:
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 😝
No sim card removal tool with iphone 6?
