Along with the release of the iPhone 4, Apple also created a new SIM card format - MicroSim. Taking up less space, SIM cards of this format do the same job. But due to constant progress in the field of mobile devices, today even MicroSim is no longer considered optimal. Therefore, last summer, Apple invited the European Telecommunications Standards Authority (ETS) to approve a new standard
SIM cards - NanoSim. Approximately 1/3 smaller than MicroSim, the new format will reduce the size of devices and implement additional functions.
This excited everyone in the mobile market, led by Google Android. According to a Nokia representative, if Apple patented this SIM-card standard, it will have significant technical advantages over other market participants. But despite this, Apple has applied for a vote, which will be held shortly.
If you closely follow all the events in the world of mobile devices, you will probably remember that once Apple wanted to stop using SIM-cards in its phones altogether. Everything had to function due to hardware filling. Yet Apple did not dare to do that.
