Nano Sim in iPad 3
Update 1/29/2013:I am now using a micro sim adapter for my nano sim. Obviously, this works much better.
Original Post:
I got my iPhone 5 on Friday. I'm loving the device. However, this post isn't a review of the device. I won't go into any details about it. I just want to talk about the nano sim in this post.
As you may know from a previous post, I like to tether using my iPad. The Verizon iPad 3 comes with free tethering. I've gotten used to moving my Verizon LTE sim card between my phone and iPad. However, the iPhone 5 presents a new challenge.
As you can see, the nano sim card in the new iPhone is much smaller than the micro sim that the iPad 3 takes. I decided to try taping it into the micro sim tray.
The contacts are fully exposed as they should be. Let's try popping it in now.
The iPad seemed to recognize that I have a sim in the tray! I opened my Verizon and, yep, it shows that my device has changed from the iPhone to an iPad.
I ran a speed test and got a somewhat decent speed on the semi-congested network on the school campus where I work.
I popped the sim back into the iPhone and it came back online just fine. I love the FCC rules that force Verizon to leave their LTE network wide open for geeks like me to do stuff like this.
