Find your model below to locate the SIM tray. To pop open the SIM tray, insert a paper clip or a SIM-eject tool into the hole beside the tray. Push in, towards the iPhone, but don’t force it. If you're having difficulty ejecting the SIM tray, take your device to your carrier or an Apple Store for help.

After you remove your SIM card from the tray, notice the notch in one corner of the new SIM card. Place the new SIM card into the tray—it will fit only one way, because of the notch. Then insert the tray into the device completely and in the same orientation that you removed it. The tray also fits only one way.

Find the SIM tray on the left side:

iPhone 12
iPhone 12 mini
iPhone 12 Pro
iPhone 12 Pro Max

In China mainland, the SIM tray on iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max can hold two nano-SIM cards.
