Since the iPhone 5 is thinner. They have replaced the 30-pin connector with the new “Lighting” connector.

Apple is changing the game by using a new Nano-Sim Card. Current Micro-Sims will not be interchangeable with the iPhone 5. There are already Sim card cutters being used to take a normal Sim and make it into a Micro-Sim. We suspect that Nano-Sim card adapters and cutters will be available soon.
