Apple proposes smaller SIM card

I never thought sim cards were that thick to begain with. Guess I'm wrong?

Maybe they want a smaller SIM card intended for iDevices only. It just makes sense, given the fact of their integrated battery, their proprietary power plug, their lack of flash card slot (I guess that makes the terminal dramatically thinner, too), and so on. In fact, in the future, Apple could integrate the SIM itself into the phone, and guess what? They'd still sell all their crap out.

Or, wait, it could be as well for having a brand new patent so they can sue even more of their competitors!

What if my iPhone xx, the only one in the world using that hypotetical smaller SIM card, breaks and needs a physical repair? I'd have to send it and I'd need a service phone meanwhile, but the tech is a new born, so I'd need also a new "classic" SIM card... Or a spare iPhone xx... :-m

(Of course, some can say it would never break because it's an iPhone... And they would be wrong).

I don't do unlocking but many people do and this could be a step in the direction (for now) to block those people. This is the 'for free' piece of the deal for companies like AT&T.

How about Apple just pissing off!

Sim cards are small enough so BE PRACTICAL and build around that!
