Hello, can you explain how SIM cards work on iPhones and specifically whether they can spread viruses or malware onto iPhones like an infected needle can spread viruses to people? Thank you!

SIM cards or Subscriber identification module is just a card that holds information on the account holder. Much like how your debit card has all the information on your bank account. Slipping it into a phone allows the phone to gather the info it needs to connect to the cell network. You cannot transfer viruses with it.
