The SIM card in the iPhone is removable, but it's hidden. To remove the SIM card, you need a paper clip.

 

We are checking to see if this voids your iPhone warranty. If you are concerned that it might, please don't perform this task.

1. Locate the SIM Card Slot

The slot is located at the top of the iPhone, between the headphone jack and the power button.

3. Remove the SIM Card

The SIM card is in a cradle. You can pop the card out of the cradle.

 

To replace the SIM card, put the card back in the cradle. The cradle and card are notched in a way that forces you to replace the card on the proper side. Then just slide the card back into the iPhone.
