Apple's new Iphone to use USIM Standard



Well you heard it here first...again. Apple's new iPhone will use the revolutionary new USB-USIM-ISIM-S-SIM Card. Of course this is nothing breathtaking as it's been known for a long time this was going to happen. With higher capacity phones, faster networks, and customers screaming how slow their phones were accessing their SIMS memory something had to give. Actually, Samsung already is using the S-SIM cards in many of their phones. The way apple will implement this is the SIM card will be placed in a small tray then that tray is then pushed down into a spring loaded slot, similar to many of those tiny micro-SD cards. Of course this will be based on the USB 2.0 standard which is a good thing and will also have MMC connections as well. Since USB only needs 2 contacts everyone will have more then enough free time to do what they want.

So, which one is it going to use USIM or S-SIM? I don't think they can be both...though I could be wrong.

I call this BS. I have never heard of a USIM or S-SIM. All GSM phones have the same ordiany SIM card in there. That is why they are so popular you can just pop them in and out. What good will this do for the iphone anyway if it's not compatible with any other phone out there?
