Sim Card Stuck Without Tray in iPhone SE?

I have an old iphone SE. I was switching between two sim cards with this phone. Then when i took out one sim card, i accidentally put the other sim card inside without the tray without thinking. Its now stuck inside and I cannot take it out. I have that pin where you press on it to eject but that doesn't work. I even have a tiny tweezer where I try to put it inside to pull it out and it doesn't work.


I do have super glue and saw a video of someone using it along with a credit card that is cut to get it out. Does that work? But doesn't that risk damage to the sim card?


What is the best way to take the sim card out? If not, local repair shop can do it or I need to go to apple store? How much would this cost? Does the apple genius bar fix this and if so how much? I read in old threads on reddit they did for free but that was years ago? But my phone is old and no warranty.



I do notice I can turn on my old iphone SE and use it without any issue via wifi but of course it doesn't read the sim correctly.


Anyone have advice on this? I'm extremely frustrated that I wasn't careful when switching the sim cards.

If you are comfortable with taking out the logic board this would be the best option as it will than just slide out. I wouldn’t put tweezers in there and the super glue on a strip of card might be alright but if you use to much you could run into trouble. Here is a guide to remove the logic board.
