Carriers Reportedly Testing Nano-SIMs for Apple Ahead of Next-Generation iPhone Launch
Following a report earlier this week claiming that European carriers have been stockpiling new nano-SIM cards in expectation of Apple using the smaller card in the next-generation iPhone, BGR now reports that carriers are indeed testing the new cards in partnership with Apple.
Multiple carrier sources have exclusively told BGR that Apple is supplying nano-SIM adapters so its carrier partners can test how nano-SIMs work on their networks in standard test devices before they are widely deployed when the new iPhone is introduced. This includes AT&T.
As we noted in the our report earlier this week, a
part leak back in early May suggested that Apple would continue to use micro-SIMs in the next-generation iPhone, but with the new nano-SIM standard backed by Apple having been
approved last month the company may already be pushing forward to adopt it as a space-saving measure.

It's standard practice when you introduce anything new into a system.
It's a newly manufactured and designed device - anything could go wrong from a design flaw to a manufacturing defect.
I wish they called this SIM card the "Pequeño SIM"! :D:D
