I just realized that each phone comes with one and only one of SIM ejectors, and I have a lot of those in my drawer. I think I have a problem. -_-
You’re responsible for everything!!!
Most screw-driver kits like the IFixIt kits, include a sim-eject head.
Me too… and my phone uses an eSIM!
Only Satan would design a hole that is smaller than the end of a bent paperclip when the entire purpose of the hole is to put something into it.
How else can you sell an iPoker 4X?
is there a name for the superfine point ones?
I guess it’s called a SIM card eject pin tool, but you’ll usually find them in cell phone toolkits.
some are thicker or thinner than others. some phones have a superthin hole. so some ejectors or a paperclip won’t work (for some phones).
maybe the superthin variety is the most common variety out there. but i have a collection and they are nearly all thick.
there must be an everyday item that functions as a makeshift alternative.
Certain plastic toothpicks work.
For a Korean, the hole doesn’t need to be that big
An earring pokey works too, just wipe off any schmutz
I keep one on my keys since it’s useful for pushing reset buttons and things and if I really need to it even works as a screwdriver
Someone told me this a few years ago. Absolute pro life tip!
Does it ever poke you?
I tried doing it at one point, yes, frequently
Interesting, it never does for me. Maybe I’m just lucky or my sim tool is a slightly better shape
I kept mine on my keychain for the longest time until it got me right under one of my finger nails. The amount of times I’ve had to use it does not justify that trauma.
I noticed my phone battery bulging just yesterday. So I went and dug up the documentation that came with it to see if I could take advantage of the manufacturer’s warranty. No dice, but the sim card tray ejector thing was in with the user’s manual. So at least I have that. :/
Check out ifixit.com - your phone might be pretty repairable. It’s crazy that companies stopped making phones with replaceable batteries.
Not that much. . . . .

. . Money is why
Yay, what’s my prize?
You can now go on a resetting rampage
Hoarder status.
Finally being recognized after so many years of “why do you save that?”.
This is your moment!
You can eject sims cards whenever you want.
Sounding
I have a lifehack for this:
Wait sim ejector holders exist?!
Got it a 7 years ago, haven’t lost the ejector since… Even amazes myself everytime I need it and it’s still there… 😅 Before this mine usually didn’t last a week.
Damn you really are a responsible person, I mean 7 years and you’ve kept it and looked after it lol
More like 7 years of occasional surprise it’s still there. 😅😂
I can imagine what it’s like to find it a year or two later and being like “Damn this thing still exists” lmao
Ngl, every time I go look for it out of need I totally expect it to be long gone. I might physically look at it every time I open my wallet, but it became so much part of the ‘background’ that I never actually see it at those times. 😅
The worst type of objects are the ones that are smack in front of you but you don’t see them because you don’t use them often enough.
It’s like holding your phone in your hand then spacing out, then when you zone in again you try looking for your phone which is still in your hand but because you spaced out and are used to it being in your hand often, you naturally forgot and thought you lost it.
I’m responsible for a lot of things
What if we’re sure it’s around here somewhere, just not sure where?
Mine is in a safe deposit box in Budapest. You can never be too cautious.
I just randomly found mine the other day.
Clip gang unite!
Ifixit screwdrivers come with a bit for that.
There’s always the trusty toothpick
What kind of toothpick are you using? Most I have seen are way to fat or are to flexible.
I bet your toothpick is a sewing needle or a SAK pin, if it can poke out SIM trays.
We have a whole keyring full of them at work
Why?? This is actually scary for some reason
I am an IT guy, we need them for… …IT-stuff…
I never kept mine and used a needle instead
I keep mine in the back of my phone case. Easy way to never lose it haha
I keep mine in the same container with all my electronics screwdriver bits, seems like the sensible place for it to be
Same. The electronics screwdriver set also includes a SIM ejector bit, so its a bit redundant.
