If you grease one’s palms a Modern iPad from your friendly local Apple store , you might notice that you get anApple SIM inside , rather than a steady ‘ ole one from Verizon or T - Mobile or whatever . Sadly , for those of you thinking that annunciate the demise of SIM cards as we know them , Apple ’s VP for iPhone has a message for ya : not so fast .
verbalize at Re / code ’s Code / Mobile group discussion , Greg Joswiak allege that the Apple SIM only makes sense for iPads because they ’re mostly sold through Apple ’s own stores , rather than through networks themselves . As such , by putting in an Apple SIM ( which lets you choose a data plan without having to go into a physical storage or set up a SIM online ) , Apple ’s just take on one footfall out of the process for its customers .
With iPhones , however , the majority are bought on - contract bridge through a web . With that in mind , Joswiak say that the Apple SIM would n’t be as suited to the iPhone , as those generally incline to be bought from a electronic web , on - declaration , and therefore there ’s no pauperization for an Apple SIM — you ’re go to be stick with the same common carrier for your two long time regardless . In other words : the SIM card is n’t going anywhere yet . [ Fierce Wireless ]
