No that GSM there suggests a mobile technology, like GSM sim. Let us say Iphone is removed from the sentence, then which article would be correct?

Any particular logic behind that? In my opinion, a "GSM sim" would be as known as a "GSM Iphone". Then why the rule is not the same?

iPhone is a brand. A GSM sim is not. If my knowledge is incorrect, please do as you wish.
