Commenters chimed in to say that the SIM is removed by pressing a paper clip into the hole. This works. There is a push-to-eject mechanism under the SIM tray, but the pressure required to engage it is considerable and the plastic tray is pretty weak. If you’re going to eject the card this way, I recommend using a heavy paper clip bent at a right angle for a solid grip, or use a very thin-shafted screwdriver or a plastic “tweaker.” Hold iPhone in your hand, not between your knees. If iPhone tips over while you’re mashing down to eject the SIM, you’ll destroy the tray. Technology Industry
