For anyone else who ever has this problem, there are easier ways than a paper clip and hammer.
I have used pencil lead (0.5mm) successfully. You get a short piece and push hard, it might hurt your thumb a bit but it works. Obviously most needles work but I have used things like safety pins from the back of a shirt pin. I’ve also used the tip of mechanical pencils in a pinch. And if you’re crafty you can do something (carefully) with a toothpick and a knife to shave the tip down. Dumbest thing I’ve ever used is a disposable flosser that had a toothpick on the end. I also used that to clean USB C ports. All of these also similarly work on small reset buttons on routers and such.
Only Satan would design a hole that is smaller than the end of a bent paperclip when the entire purpose of the hole is to put something into it.
How else can you sell an iPoker 4X?
You’re still using the 4X? Lol, get yourself an 8Max and thank me later.
I did but I’m still saving up for the handle

I usually take a needle of some kind and clip the point off so it’s not as sharp.
An earring pokey works too, just wipe off any schmutz
is there a name for the superfine point ones?
I guess it’s called a SIM card eject pin tool, but you’ll usually find them in cell phone toolkits.
some are thicker or thinner than others. some phones have a superthin hole. so some ejectors or a paperclip won’t work (for some phones).
maybe the superthin variety is the most common variety out there. but i have a collection and they are nearly all thick.
there must be an everyday item that functions as a makeshift alternative.
Certain plastic toothpicks work.
For a Korean, the hole doesn’t need to be that big
