How To Remove SIM Card From iPhone 18 Pro
First, locate the SIM tray on the side of your iPhone 18 Pro. The exact location can vary depending on the model and region, so look for the small hole beside the SIM tray. Next, insert the SIM eject tool into the small hole next to the SIM tray. Make sure the tool is inserted into the eject hole rather than another opening on the phone.

Apply gentle, steady pressure until the SIM tray pops out slightly. Do not force the tool if the tray does not release. Once the tray is ejected, carefully pull it out of the iPhone. You should now be able to see the SIM card sitting inside the tray.

Remove the SIM card from the tray by lifting it out carefully. Pay attention to its position and orientation if you plan to use the same SIM card again.
After removing the SIM card, place the empty SIM tray back into the iPhone. Make sure the tray is correctly aligned before pushing it gently back into the device.

After the SIM card has been removed, your iPhone may lose access to cellular services associated with that physical SIM. Calls, text messages, and mobile data may no longer work through that SIM until another compatible SIM or an active eSIM is available.
Removing a SIM card from the iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max only takes a few moments. Simply locate the SIM tray, insert the SIM eject tool into the correct hole, gently eject the tray, and remove the SIM card. Handle both the card and tray carefully to avoid damage.
