  • Insert a SIM card eject tool into the small hole in the SIM card tray, located on the volume button edge of the iPhone.

Step 2

              Remove the SIM card tray               
  • Remove the SIM card tray from the iPhone.
  • When reinserting the SIM card, make sure it’s in the proper orientation inside the tray.
  • A thin rubber gasket around the SIM tray provides water and dust protection. If this gasket is damaged or missing, replace the gasket or the entire SIM tray to protect your iPhone’s internal components.
