In theory you could go back to around ~1992 and still make calls/SMS. You can't backdate the clock so I don't know. Not sure if iPhone can do 90s degraded resolution civilian GPS. You'd also need SIM cutter and I'm not sure how those standards have changed over years. Followers?https://twitter.com/DANGEROUS_media/status/979359662758858758 …

GPS and GSM should work fine, given a suitable SIM. Cutting SIMs is easy and I don't see why it would be any harder with a vintage SIM. SMS should work fine. Not sure if the iPhone supports retro style CSD data (pre GPRS) though. You might be stuck without any Internet access.

Older SIM cards were a bit thicker and wouldn’t fit in the newer iPhone trays. Not sure if it’s something you could fix easily.

nanoSIM is thinner, but all the previous generations were the same thickness. You can usually just sand it if it's a problem.

I can confirm from personal experience the difference in thickness. With new slide out SIM drawers, if you forget to sand down an old style SIM it can get jammed in forever. Had 2 colleagues who ended up swapping phones after their trimmed SIM got jammed in the wrong iPhone

That sounds like terrible design. I've never had a problem with trimmed SIMs on Nexus phones, without sanding them down.
