According to Mr. Fadell, in the early days of iPhone development, Steve Jobs had the idea to remove the SIM card slot in the device. In the words of “the father of the iPod,” Jobs told the engineers and designers working on the iPhone: “we didn’t want another hole.”

The Apple co-founder used Verizon as an example to assert that an iPhone without a SIM card slot would be possible because the carrier is known for its CDMA network instead of GSM. In fact, CDMA phones do not require a SIM card because they are linked directly to the service provider’s network.

Fadell then mentioned that he had to use market data to convince Steve Jobs that using CDMA instead of GSM for the iPhone wouldn’t work because the technology was less widely adopted. This was just one of those times when Apple engineers had to deal with Jobs’ decisions.
