Apple Wins Micro-SIM Patent

Stefan Mileschin · 27th December 2012, 07:13

Apple has been granted a patent that covers connectors that allow for multiple methods of inserting a SIM card. Connectors that may allow SIM cards to be easily removed and replaced, may be resistant to damage by an improper insertion of a SIM card, and may provide reliable mechanical performance. One example may provide a plunger system where a user can push on a plunger rod and eject a SIM card. Another example may provide contacts that are not damaged by improper insertion of a SIM card. Another example may provide a plastic housing, the housing reinforced by a metallic shield and having a relatively uniform thickness.
