Developers Apple have carefully thought out everything in advance with the issue of extracting a sim card: it would seem, press the key, and do not have to suffer. That's just this special needle and strives to somehow hurt, and if the card needed to be changed quickly and in an unexpected situation, then it will not be possible to remove the tray from either the iPhone or the iPad without the improvised means. Fortunately, there are several proven working ways to finally get this ill-fated SIM card.
Ordinary situation
Suppose that the SIM card can be removed without complications, and turn to the reception based on the principle of replacement. Taking out the tray with a key, you do nothing but a little mechanical impact: the needle simply activates the mechanism and is not the only thing suitable for this. Pull out the tray is completely possible, replacing the needle with a regular clerical clip, which must first be slightly straightened. The tip of the paper clip matches the activation of the tray extension mechanism, and in most cases your problem will no longer require any other techniques or tools.
Oh yeah, if you have never taken out a SIM card from your iPhone, whether it's 3, 4, 4s, 5s or 6, you'll have to find the right slot first. At different models it is in different places, but always has an oblong shape, similar to an oval.
- The slot is located on the right side of the iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s and iPhone 4 GSM, iPad Pro, iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini.
- The tray is located on top, next to the power button, for older models: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G GSM.At the same time, trying to get a SIM card from aypadov, you need to insert a clip into the socket for the key not perpendicularly, but at an angle of 45˚.
- The slot at the bottom left can only be found on the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G.
tip The use of a paper clip is most popular due to its availability and versatility, but if the clip is not in your situation, then it can be replaced with other similar items. The end of a large needle or wire for these purposes is quite suitable.
When Simka is stuck. ..
You applied a stunt with a paper clip, the tray popped out, but did not pull it all out completely? Most likely, the case in the SIM card, which unsuccessfully stood in the tray, preventing the tray from being extracted from the slot. The main thing at this stage is not to be nervous: trying to pull a sim card with the use of physical effort, you run the risk of breaking the mechanism. In this case, even if the tray goes back into the slot, it will not stay in it, and you will have to fix it in the case with tape or tape.
It is better to take a needle or a blade and try to lay the SIM card so that it does not obstruct the stroke while you remove the tray. Yes, the work is laborious and can take a lot of time, but this problem is completely solved if you have a little patience and show a little skill. Just do not put the needle too deep inside the case: there are other parts and elements that can be damaged by an inaccurate motion that is easy.
You can also just tap the gadget on the table or another surface: if the card is free to hold in the tray, it can help it to return to the desired position, and you - pull the tray completely.

Many owners of iPhones and iPads slightly handle the edges of even new purchased SIM cards with fine sandpaper as a prevention of this problem. So it will be easier for the map to give the desired position in the tray, even if it has risen in the spacer, because the rough edges and plastic burrs will no longer stand in your way.
If the tray does not extend at all
No need to fanatically press the button with a paper clip, if the light or moderate pressing the tray from iPhone or iPad has not come out. Most likely, in your case for help you will have to contact the service center, unless, of course, you do not have a useful skill in disassembling and collecting such equipment. And certainly a bad idea will be to pull the tray mechanically: picking with a knife and other sharp objects will not only spoil the form of the technique, but it can lead to more serious breakdowns if the piece of the tool breaks off and stays inside. You do not want your favorite 5s or 4s to hurt even more?

Often a full slot lock occurs when the used SIM card was cut from an old one that did not match the parameters. Believe me, re-issue of the card will be much faster and it will require much less money than such a breakdown of iPhone or iPad. Do not be too lazy to change the card so that you do not have to contact the service center for help because of your own imprudence.
Some problems with an iPhone or an iPad, such as removing a SIM card without using a key, can be solved on your own, but the main thing is to remember that the service centers are not in vain and are also ready to help in a difficult case. Dare, but adequately assess the situation and do not panic!
