Apple SIM
Apple SIM is a proprietary SIM card technology developed by Apple Inc.. Introduced in 2014, Apple SIM offers users the flexibility to choose between various mobile network operators globally.
History[edit | edit source]
Apple SIM was first introduced with the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 in October 2014. The technology was designed to provide users with the ability to switch between different mobile network operators without the need to physically change the SIM card.
Functionality[edit | edit source]
Apple SIM is a physical nano-SIM card that comes pre-installed in certain iPad models. It is also available for purchase at Apple Retail Stores in select countries. The Apple SIM allows users to select a cellular data plan from various carrier partners directly on their iPad.
The Apple SIM supports multiple mobile network operators, including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint in the United States, EE in the United Kingdom, and GigSky in more than 90 countries and territories globally.
Compatibility[edit | edit source]
Apple SIM is compatible with the iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 3, and later models of the iPad Pro and iPad Mini. It is also compatible with the 9.7-inch iPad starting from the fifth generation.
Criticism[edit | edit source]
Despite its advantages, Apple SIM has faced criticism for its limited availability and compatibility. Some mobile network operators, such as Verizon, do not support Apple SIM, requiring users to install a carrier-specific SIM card.
