Next iPhone Confirmed to Use Nano-SIM, Carriers Already Testing?

Thursday, 19th July 2012, 03:07 pm 

The next iPhone will reportedly use the new nano-SIM and carriers are already testing the smaller SIM card, according to BGR.

It's been rumored that the new iPhone will feature an even smaller SIM card than what's used now, and we can confirm that the new iPhone will feature these tiny SIM cards called nano-SIMs. 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.

BGR also recently reported that the 'iPhone 5' is in the EVT3 stage and feature 1GB of RAM, LTE, and NFC.

Retina MacBook Pro Shipping Estimates Improving for the First Time

For the first time since its launch just over one month ago, Apple's Retina MacBook Pro has begun to see improvements in shipping estimates for new orders placed through the company's online store. The improvement has appeared first in Apple's Asia-Pacific markets, which have seen estimates move from 3-4 weeks to 2-3 weeks. 


Shipping estimates in Apple's other main distribution regions of the Americas and Europe/Middle East/Africa remain at 3-4 weeks, but it is likely they will see similar improvements in the near future. 

While Apple announced the Retina MacBook Pro as immediately available on its debut day of June 11, shipping estimates quickly slipped to 2-3 weeks by the end of the day andreached 3-4 weeks roughly 24 hours later. Estimates have remained steady at 3-4 weeks since that time until today's improvement in the Asia-Pacific channel. 

Update: The improved 2-3 week estimates have now spread to the Americas and are beginning to filter into a number of European stores.
