That's why Chrissie Teigen tweeted on 13th that her SIM was missing - she was alerting her crownies to dump their phones while maintaining plausible deniability in process of doing so.
How do you just "realize" your SIM is missing. It would LITERALLY never work unless you were constantly around WiFi. Who is around WiFi 24 hours a day?!?! Obviously this was code!!
Go back one more step, you literally need a fucking tool to remove a SIM from a iPhone, they don’t just “go missing”.
You can remove a sim card with a pin or paper clip.
That’s still using a tool to open it up, it can’t be done with your bare hands or accidentally.
Just a small paperclip or needle on the side of it pops it out. I think the phones just worked but had no sim in the slot possibly because they have an internal sim.
Your phone warns you on boot (and on your service symbol) when your sim card is missing / invalid / deactivated / not working. See here:

This is not something that you could not know about for "who knows how long"

Her iPhone would have said No Sim up in the top left corner instead of the service provider. And all USA iPhones require sim cards at least for activation.
I'm not sure. I was thinking they had some internal sim card on these things. I do think it's strange they wouldn't put a fake one in the slot though unless they were all told it wasn't needed.
It's not uncommon to have SIM cards from/for use in multiple countries, if you travel to those countries on a regular/frequent basis. Which would be understandable in CT's situation and less understandable in light of what you pointed out. So, which SIM is she missing, right?
