iPhone X: You need this SIM card

To use your iPhone X to the full extent, you need the right SIM card. We show you which card format fits the new iPhone.

iPhone X - Nano SIM card is required

As with the previous iPhone models, the iPhone X only fits one card in nano SIM format. You need the card to be able to use your mobile phone or to access the Internet without WiFi.

• So if you switch from iPhone 5 or a newer model to iPhone X, you can continue to use your old SIM card without any problems.
• If you do not have a nano SIM card, you can order one from your mobile operator. In many cases this is even free of charge, but a small fee may apply.
• If you don't want to wait for a new card to be delivered, you can cut your old card yourself. We explain the exact procedure in the following video:

Surf tip: Wirecutter tests iPhone X cases

So that you have something of your iPhone X for a long time, you should protect it with a case, a flip case or the like. However, the selection of protective covers is large and the price is not always the best indicator of quality.

• Our CHIP partner Wirecutter tested 70 cases for the iPhone X. In the detailed test report you can read which model did the best and which sleeves are also recommended.
• The test also specifically addresses different types of sleeves. There are models that offer particularly good fall protection and those that have an integrated wallet.
