Following a report earlier this week claiming that European carriers have
been stockpiling new nano-SIM cards in expectation of Apple using the
smaller card in the next-generation iPhone, BGR now reports that carriers
are indeed testing the new cards in partnership with Apple.
Multiple carrier sources have exclusively told BGR that Apple is supplying
nano-SIM adapters so its carrier partners can test how nano-SIMs work on
their networks in standard test devices before they are widely deployed when
the new iPhone is introduced. This includes AT&T.

As we noted in the our report earlier this week, a part leak back in early
May suggested that Apple would continue to use micro-SIMs in the next-
generation iPhone, but with the new nano-SIM standard backed by Apple having
been approved last month the company may already be pushing forward to
adopt it as a space-saving measure. |
