Learn how to remove or transfer the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi+ Cellular models).
After you remove or transfer your SIM card, insert the tray completely and in the same orientation that you removed it (it will fit only one way).
Only use the SIM tray that came with your device. For example, the SIM tray from an iPhone 6s will not fit in an iPhone 7.
