The iPhone SE has a Nano SIM card (4FF).
Apple first utilized the Nano SIM form factor in the iPhone 5. Previously the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s used a Micro SIM card.
By making the SIM card smaller, Apple engineers have more space to fit other hardware and minimize wasted space. Nano SIM cards are backward-compatible, and can be used in older devices with an adapter tray.tags:
