Nokia’s design has a spur on it, possibly to make it more secure when inserted into an external slot, but this violates and ETSI requirement for jam-free designs.

Apple’s design has a height equal to current SIMs’ width, violating an ETSI requirement that a nano SIM’s dimensions rule out accidental mis-installation in current and new devices (I guess consumers could mistakenly install Apple’s design sideways in a current device).
