What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

I mean of all the stupid shit to remove from a phone, why is the sim card THE big deal? I mean who the fuck cares? a SIM card is infrastructure dependent inherently, it is just a token for a network! What is the problem of storing the token for a network digitally. The SD slot and the headphone jack, Yeah those are useful. But the SIM slot? I don't get it.

if your phone dies you can easily love the sim card to the new one and move on with life.

edit: I'm keeping the typo

There won't be for long once the iPhone drops support

[–] dog_ 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the iPhone already did... in the United States,

Then there won't be carriers that don't support it for long in the United States!
