I'll add to Sieghard's thorough post to say that if you don't have the SIM removal tool, you might want to use a push pin instead of a paper clip. The one time I tried using a paper clip, I was unsuccessful in getting the SIM to release. someone else on this list said a push pin worked better for them as it is easier to grip and the pin itself is stiffer than a paper clip.

You should be able to feel the tiny hole. If you don't have the SIM removal tool or your phone didn't come with one just use a paperclip, works just the same. It does take a pretty firm press for the SIM tray to pop out and I would make sure to do it on a table in case you drop the SIM as the Nano SIM used in the 5S is really super tiny. Somebody mentioned at one point to be careful as the SIM tray may literally shoot out, but I have had an iPhone 4, 4S and a 5S and actually had my 4S as well as my 5S replaced under Apple Care for various reasons and none of these 5 or 6 phones I have had did that especially if you hold it so the SIM tray side is facing up. On all of my phones the tray just pops out a bit, just enough so you can grab it and pull it out. The tray has a tiny ridge in the middle on the bottom so that side goes towards the back of the phone when you put it back in. The SIM itself has one corner which is cut off although on the Nano SIM that is sometimes hard to feel since it's so tiny. Anyhow, that cut-off corner goes towards the outside and towards the top of the phone (towards where the power button is on the top right corner). And yes, you can get adapters which allow you to use a Nano SIM in a Micro SIM or full-size SIM tray.
