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.

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.

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!

I have like 7 of these in a container next to me. I don't think responsible is the word that would be associated with that behaviour.
PS - paperclips work fine for this purpose.

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
i usually grab a breadboard jumper wire and shove it in my sim card slot 😂
Now what is that?
It's a tool to remove the SIM card from a phone
SIM tray opener tool for smartphones. It's pretty small

You guys aren't just using eSIMs?
As someone traveling to other countries a few times a year, eSims have been a game changer.
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.
They're also good for SD card slots.

I still have it and now phone is eSIM only. But I can’t bring myself to throw it out.
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.
aka fancy paperclip
....I used mine to clean my ears.
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 have something like 100 of these in a draw in my home office. Along with a straightened paperclip as a backup.

Just tuck it into your phone case if you can. Easy solution to always have it when you need it.
