iPhone 5 to have even smaller SIM
A news report from 9TO5Mac states that, Apple has been getting busy with making the next gen iPhone 5 smaller and thinner by utilizing smaller SIM cards instead of an e-SIM.
Stephane Richard, CEO of France Telecom/Orange, got a meeting with Apple and according to his words, “It is beyond difficult for a carrier to manage its customers without a sim card, mostly for authentication purposes”. He also told that they got an constructive dialogue with Apple.
They reached on a common point, so little compromises from both sides. Briefly, the new SIM card is going to be smaller than the micro-SIM used in the iPhone 4. A different executive from Orange stated that Apple has delivered prototype which utilizes the agreed new SIM, that prototype was definitely lighter than the iPhone 4, also the prototyped had an edge-to-edge screen and it could be used by touching and also by voice commands.
