New SIM card for iPhone 5?

[karl]

Apple will adopt a brand new design of SIM card, according to the latest leak which comes just six days before the launch of the highly-anticipated iPhone 5.
The SIM card is the small plastic card that comes within all phones, and allows your phone to 'hand-shake' with your network.
Now Apple will use Nano-SIMs, according to leaked images by ifun.de, which claims shops in Germany have already received batches of iPhone 5 SIM cards.
This implies the iPhone 5, expected to be announced on September 12, is just weeks away from shipping.

A bit useless if you sim-swap a lot. But apart from that, it's clever how they've managed to reduce the size even though it still acts as a regular sim card.

Why the fuck would you bother. All it will do is raise more revenue for the phone companies when you have to buy another sim card.

My micro-sim cost me $22, and I am fucked if my phone dies in public, and I need to put my sim into another phone. Whats wrong with keeping shit simple?

Micro SIM cards are already so tiny. What would be the benefit of making them even smaller?

I wasn't aware Apple decided that you needed to even be able swap them in the first place.

The fick is this shit? I am writing about how Micro Sims are inconvenient, and now this one comes up?

Fuck you Apple, fuck you.
