the device is still a phone, because it needs a SIM card to operate. Without it it's pretty much useless. You cant even start the iphone without it, first thing it needs is a sim card.

What? If you boot an iPhone without a SIM it'll show you a warning/error that the SIM is missing, but it still turns on and works.
