        Do I really need to point out how abhorrently disgusting that is?!

You droid users do nothing but go around anything Apple related articles and post hate and insults towards Apple users and the company. Look this thread alone. It got hikacked by android users complaining about the iPad mini? Android users are the biggest trolls on the World Wide Web.

              I think "proprietary" is the wrong word to use here, since the article clearly states "Apple SIM is removable, so carriers can use a conventional setup if they are willing to." suggesting it comes with a regular SIM, just one provided and branded by Apple that can be connected to more than just a single network. Probably US only, mind, knowing how these things work.

                It's like us complaining about how crappy it is to be on android for all these years, how android kit Kat is only available on certain android devices, how crapy a 700 dollar android phone become after 2 months, how the nexus 6 built in sup par quality is all of a sudden the price Of an s5 or we can simply take the hide road and don't go android.

                        propriety SIM card hey ... come on EU take them to court over anti-competitive behaviour like the EU took Microsoft to court over neeing IE to do Windows OS updates in WIN98, WIN ME and then WIN XP.

                        Apple need to realise either they adapt to what the world wants or they are gonna go down like they did in the mid 80's, 90's and this time round they cant have Jobs come back to save them.

                        As for this propriety SIM, hmmmm reminds me of AMPS/CDMA NAM1/2 system ....

                        Or how about R-UIM ...

                        Its not gonna work and its only gonna hurt Apple , but hey screw them for sub standard products and an OS that is full of holes.

                              Anonymous, 17 Oct 2014Just another way to milk people for money. Glad I'm team Android.Milking people? Are u out of ur mind? Those people who buy apple products are the most wise people... U know why? Because they know the worth of the money they spent... Unlike u who spent ur money and didn't even get a hundred percent satisfactory of what u buy... They already used apple product...no matter how costly the product is, but they are worth to buy for, these product lasts over ayear unlike ur crapy laggggyyy product which is not worth buying,.. Yes u can buy ur android product a lower price but the experience of the product gives u is not worth with ur money... Now think about that before u give ur comments and judge the comoany for milking the people...

                              Domu see the report about the iPhone 6 and 6 plus of how many customer purchased the product no matter how expensive they are? Because people believe that they will get what they paid for and they already trust apple that they will have a hudred percent garantee that the product is worthy enough and will satisfy them...

                                      And still they push us to adopt nano sim standart. Long ago nokia purpose the similar idea, and apple said that nano sim is better. And now look what they doing. What a drama...
