Overview
What this part is
The SIM card tray holds your nano-SIM in the side of the iPhone 16 Plus. Trays are easy to lose, bend or scratch, and a bent tray may not sit flush or may not hold the SIM firmly against the contacts.
This is a replacement nano-SIM tray. UK models of the iPhone 16 Plus take a nano-SIM in this tray as well as eSIM. US models are eSIM-only and have no tray. It pushes into the slot by hand, and you use a SIM eject pin to remove it again. No heat or tools are needed to open the phone.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the iPhone 16 Plus off.
- Push a SIM eject pin into the small hole beside the tray to release the old tray, if one is fitted.
- Place your nano-SIM in the new tray, gold contacts facing down, matching the cut corner.
- Slide the tray straight into the slot until it sits flush with the frame.
- Power the phone on and check the network signal appears.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my iPhone 16 Plus?
Yes, if Settings › General › About shows iPhone 16 Plus. It fits models A3082, A3289, A3290, A3291. It does not fit the iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 Plus.
Does it fit the iPhone 16?
No. The iPhone 16 uses a different sim card tray. This part is listed only for the iPhone 16 Plus.
Will this fix a No SIM message?
Only if the old tray was bent or missing and the SIM was not sitting properly. If a No SIM message stays with a good tray and SIM, the SIM reader or main board is the likely fault.
Is it made by Apple?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality sim card tray made to fit the iPhone 16 Plus, and every part is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
Yes, this is one of the few parts you can fit at home. You only need a SIM eject pin. Make sure the SIM sits flat in the tray before sliding it in.
