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?
You're still using the 4X? Lol, get yourself an 8Max and thank me later.
An earring pokey works too, just wipe off any schmutz
For a Korean, the hole doesn't need to be that big
I have a lifehack for this:
I do tech support, I always have one on my keychain.
I used to keep one on my keys back when I worked at a carrier store selling phones. Made life so much easier then.
In fact, the actual inserted part broke off years ago (and I haven't done phone sales in over a decade), but the main part of the body is actually still attached to my keyring. I haven't even thought about that until this post, actually.
I just bought a new phone and put it next to the other four I have.
You're either really good at holding onto those things, or really good at losing/breaking phones
How often are you dudes changing SIMs? I only ever do it when I get a new phone, and they always come with one.
....I used mine to clean my ears.
Just tuck it into your phone case if you can. Easy solution to always have it when you need it.
Ah yes, phone cases I definitely use those
i usually grab a breadboard jumper wire and shove it in my sim card slot 😂
aka fancy paperclip
I have a screwdriver bit set that just includes one of those, very tightly secured. Whoever was responsible for ensuring this was neccessary: You are a hero.
this made me feel good about myself, thanks
I fixit gang. If you did not know, some of the ifixit kits have a screwdriver bit that is just for that
I got a Sony Xperia III last month. You can use a fingernail with it since the tray also holds your SD card
This is why us millennials keep our phone boxes
I keep mine in the same container with all my electronics screwdriver bits, seems like the sensible place for it to be
I put mine on the keychain.... It's responsible for some small holes in my trousers pockets and I have been pricked too but worth it.
I never kept mine and used a needle instead
I have at least 6 in my office right now, and another 2 or 3 around my house, and one in my truck...
I will not be taking any questions at this point.
I just use a needle or something similar
I have plenty around the house. When I needed it, I still had to find something else to use because I had no idea where this was.
You guys aren't just using eSIMs?
These little ejector tools are useful for more than just SIM cards. CD/DVD ROM drives have force eject buttons inside tiny little holes that these can reach and push. Many hardware reset buttons are also hidden inside tiny holes.
You could use an unfolded paperclip in a pinch. One of my air purifiers has a reset button inside a hole that is slightly too thin for the paper lips I have on hand. But the SIM ejector tool I keep around fits perfectly.
As someone traveling to other countries a few times a year, eSims have been a game changer.
Had to use a paperclip for mine. Didn't even come with one.
I have two of those. One's from my old phone.
Low bar
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...
Ifixit screwdrivers come with a bit for that.
Yay, what's my prize?
You can now go on a resetting rampage
You can eject sims cards whenever you want.
Sounding
I have a Moonlander split keyboard that is programmable and uses one of these little things for its reset button. My only gripe with it is that they could have designed a place for it to slot into the keyboard itself since it's very easy to lose it if it isn't otherwise attached to something.
nope, just a hoarder :)
