Apple Offers Royalty-free Licensing for nano-SIM Patents
- schiffern 15y agoIronically the picture shows a mini-SIM card. The actual cards haven't been finalized, but this compares sizes: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/03/21/apple-nano-sim/ http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/03/21/apple-nano-sim/
- simcop2387 15y agoEven those look like micro-sims to me, judging by the info on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_identity_module http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_identity_module
- schiffern 15y agoRight you are. Thanks, and fixed.
- simcop2387 15y agoI'm kind of wondering how much smaller they can get. Going any smaller than micro would appear to me to need a new pad to talk to the chip on, which might make adapters more difficult to make.
- mariuolo 15y agoIt's a trap!
- riobard 15y agoCan't we just get rid of physical SIM cards all together and just make the auth data easily loadable into mobile phones like SSL certificate or SSH private keys? Making them smaller seems heading the wrong way. Remind me of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3744268 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3744268
