I\u2019ll guide you step-by-step in a way that works well whether or not you can see the device.\n\n---\n\n## What to Know Before Finding the SIM Tray\n\n- The iPhone 13 mini has a **physical nano-SIM tray** on the *left side* of the phone. ([att.com](https://www.att.com/device-support/article/131358/Apple/iphone-13-mini/?utm_source=openai))  \n- That tray is below the volume buttons and above the Ring/Silent switch. ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/iphone/iph7d116e557/ios?utm_source=openai))  \n- There is a small round hole in or very near the SIM tray \u2014 that\u2019s the eject mechanism. ([att.com](https://www.att.com/device-support/article/131358/Apple/iphone-13-mini/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to Locate the SIM Tray by Touch\n\nYou can feel for these features:\n\n1. Hold the phone in portrait orientation (the screen facing you).  \n2. Place your left hand so your thumb is along the left side edge.  \n3. From top to bottom: you\u2019ll feel **first** the Ring/Silent switch (small toggle), **then** two volume buttons, **then** a rounded corner of a shallow tray with a small pinhole next to it\u2014this is the SIM tray.  \n\n---\n\n## How to Eject the SIM Tray\n\nYou will need a small pointed tool. If you have the metal SIM-eject tool that came with the phone, use it. If not, an unfolded paperclip works.\n\n1. Power off your iPhone to be safe.  \n2. Touch the SIM tray location as above. Find the tiny round **pinhole** at (or just above) the tray.  \n3. Insert the eject tool or paperclip gently into that hole. Push *straight in*, not at an angle. You should feel a slight give and the tray will pop out a bit. ([att.com](https://www.att.com/device-support/article/131358/Apple/iphone-13-mini/?utm_source=openai))  \n4. Gently pull the tray the rest of the way out using your fingers.  \n\n---\n\n## Removing and Replacing the SIM Card\n\n- Once the tray is out, the SIM card sits on it. Remove the card by sliding it out from the tray.  \n- If you\u2019re inserting a SIM card, notice the **notch in one corner**\u2014that matches into the tray in only one way. Align that notch correctly. The metal contacts on the SIM go **downward**. ([manuals.plus](https://manuals.plus/asin/B09G9L8C6R.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Carefully slide the tray (with or without the SIM card) back into the phone until it clicks flush with the side.  \n\n---\n\nIf you\u2019d like, I can walk you through doing this step-by-step live over the phone (with descriptions) if you want extra certainty. Just say the word."
