The jury is still out on whether or not iPhone 4S is a big hit or just a tired placeholder until Apple actually released a new iPhone – the iPhone 5. However, there is consensus that there will be a significant leap between 4S and 5 which will be far greater than between the 4 and 4S.

On November 3, 2011, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that reveals that they’re working on a possible future iPhone that will operate using a Virtual SIM Card. According to Apple, the secondary benefit of switching to a Virtual SIM Card is improved security while allowing for the design an ever thinner, astoundingly beautiful, next generation iPhone.

We’d be surpriesed if the carriers got on board so quickly to loose the SIM card but it is Apple after all.

    Being Apple, they can probably go with “It’s sim-less, deal with it !”

    So things are going back just like CDMA phones when mobiles had no sim. Let’s see if things work out.
