“The nano-SIM design was approved by the mobile phone industry’s standards group earlier this year and should allow Apple to save even more space in its tightly designed iPhone interior,” Aimonetti writes.
The Financial Times even cited two sources who claim that these telecom companies are holding millions of chips in warehouses in anticipation of the high demand the iPhone 5 will create upon being released.
The article goes on to explain that these carriers may be jumping the gun in preparation due to a lack thereof when Apple switched to micro-SIM cards with its iPhone 4 release, as well as its first-generation iPad. Many carriers found that they didn’t have enough micro-SIMs to meet the high demand; needless to say, this is not an event in history they want repeated.
As the nano-SIM is 40 percent smaller than the current micro-SIMs found in most smartphones, it seems many other phone makers will likely adopt Apple’s new design. Only time will tell, however, if the new nano-SIM will give Apple the competitive edge it needs.
