Oh. That’s how you do. I took the display out to reach the sim. Would have been sooooo much easier like this hack using this ingenious tool.

L’Barouf,

This guide isn’t a hack. This guide is the way the removal and insertion of a SIM card, in the iPhone XS Max, was designed to be.

What you did, while being the more delicate and providing you with more knowledge of the inner layout of your iPhone, was actually the hack.
