Instructions and cutting Template for nano SIM

apple iPhone 5 nano SIM card, can you modify your current SIM card to fit and still work?

Well yes it seems you can* the guys at geosoft works could not wait for the new nano sim to come with their new iPhone 5 for they chopped and filed their own SIMs down to size.


Here is a link to their site
The template they posted can be printed out and used to shape and size your exsisting SIM card.

you can print out on A4 paper size (UK and Europe)  LINK here
or you can print out a Letter format template (US)  LINK here

If you dont like the idea of getting out your cutters, measuring rule and file I have provided a link to purchase a cutter / shaper from Amazon.





*obviously this is done at your own risk.


 

Transport for London agree that iOS 6 isnt worth using, buy a map instead

More examples of the iOS6 maps fail found on this tumblr post dedicated to ios map fail http://theamazingios6maps.tumblr.com/

There are rumors that the new iPhone will not support EE 1800Mhz frequency here in the UK, but I believe EE would not let apple pass them by with the new phone imminent.


Questions will Virgin that back haul onto EE network be allow access to the new LTE network ? Not for 6 - 12 months i would think, but you never know.

New sim card to be launched Nano SIM.



Nano-SIM Cards Stockpiled In Advance of iPhone 5 Launch
http://www.cultofmac.com/179199/nano-sim-cards-stockpiled-in-advance-of-iphone-5-launch-report/
Sim size has not really changed in size since it came onto the market, time for a change ? It was not so long ago apple were making noises about negating a SIM card altogether, (like american wcdma networks). GSM how ever stipulates the need for SIM card use.

#apple wwdc next month, wonder what to expect.

With the apple world wide developer conference due June 11th - June 15th what jewels can we expect.

iPhone 5 ?
I would like to think so, how ever with the 4s coming out only 6 months or so it would be outside of the normal schedule that apple have seem to be following. Not to say they wont suprise us with a july / august release, alot of people were not happy with the 4s when announced but apple deemed the iPhone 4 had some more legs before they were willing to move onto a different form factor.

ios6 ? Yes i think so.

8" iPad well why not, maybe looking at xmas for that one though.

New macbook pro ? All points to a refresh we will see.

Tune in in June for all to be revieled.
