A thread about the topic on the Apple support site has now accumulated more than 200 posts and 30,000 views, suggesting that the problem could be widespread.
Users claim that their devices power up, but are unable to read any micro-SIM cards. Some forum posters have speculated that the phones' SIM-card readers may be malfunctioning, but Apple is yet to confirm this.
The SIM problem is the latest in a string of technical woes for iPhone 4S owners. Voice command software Siri previously posed a security risk, scores of users reported battery issues, while other have had difficulties updating iOS 5.
The iPhone 4S launched around the world last month. It was previously rumoured that it could be succeeded by a 4G-powered handset in 2012.
Apple is yet to respond to the SIM issue reports.
