If you want to get a lightning connector working on your old devices, you will need an adapter ($40-$50).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">We have recently found out that the new iPhone 5 will also be supporting the Nano-SIM, rather than the Micro-SIM which the iPhone 4S uses. The Nano-SIM card measures just 12.3 x 8.8mm and its thickness have been marginally reduced to .67mm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1415\" title=\"Bought An iPhone 5?
