One question the iPhone 4S reviews all seem to ignore (size of the GSM SIM card!)
I've looked at a dozen iPhone 4S reviews, none of which commented on the SIZE of the GSM SIM card!
When I travel to a foreign country, I find it useful to purchase a local SIM card (sometimes with the help of a foreign national) containing about an hour of local talk time, which I throw away upon leaving that country.
This works fine for an unlocked GSM iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS which all have a 'normal sized' GSM SIM card slot; but it fails on an iPhone 4 due to the half-sized SIM card used (specifically to foil you on that endeavor).
May I ask ...
Since the new iPhone 4S is billed as a "world phone", and since it contains "support for both CDMA and GSM networks", may I ask if they use the standard 'regular-sized' GSM SIM card, or if they still use the AT&T-only half-sized GSM SIM card?
