New rumors are running on the network in these last hours, a voice about the future iPhone 5. It seems that Apple has decided to market a mobile device, with integrated sim and Universal exclusively for the European market. This would enable iPhone users to use the device with any cable company.
Apple is working together with Gemalto (a company specializing in information technology security) to replace the SIM card in the next generation of iPhone and iPad with a Flash ROM chip integrated, compatible with all mobile operators in the world, can be activated directly from iTunes. The iPhone SIM Card 5 should be programmed as any application, the various telephone companies can then decide to set up the software on the basis of their needs and the offers to be proposed to customers. Mainly
would be 2 reasons behind this choice: The
first is that, by integrating the chip used to identify the telephone network, Apple marginalize the role of traders to whom the task would only assign a number, but would no longer be the main sellers of equipment that would have instead bought in Apple stores via the Internet and then be easily authenticated via iTunes. Thus, according to GigaOM it will impose the manufacturer as an intermediary between customer and carrier. A
second hypothesis is that this type of integrated Sim would, however, Apple to impede even more directly the phenomenon of the release of his cell, by preventing an iPhone Sim locked by an operator can be unlocked and used with the Sims another operator. In this sense, Apple, in fact, not only is working with Gemalto, but also with a number of operators worldwide.
Although for the moment There is no confirmation about this innovation, many believe the likely introduction of a virtual card that would allow the House Cupertino to make it even more complicated attempts to unlock the iPhone.
