Apple patents SIM you can't remove from your phone

   "Apple has been awarded a US patent on an embedded SIM capable of
    switching between mobile network operators under command from
    Cupertino, assuming the operators comply.  The patent places an
    embedded SIM within the secure element which one would expect to see
    managing electronic payments, which is why it was spotted by NFC
    World. Its editor, Sarah Clark, realised the significance of the
    patent and how it validates last year's rumours that Apple was
    planning a cross-network SIM-less handset."

Of course, if you wish to switch between handsets on your own, you're,
well, screwed.
