I don’t like Apple but it’s great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

Yes, it’s the SIM card that carries your number and may also carry data on your contacts if you save it there.
They almost definitely got this info by simply having the IMEI, which is printed on the back and can definitely be accessed in whatever Apple calls their service mode though.
And has had a PIN lock from the start. Doesn’t help if you leave it as 1234, though.
How would you set that pin on a SIM card in an iPhone?
On iOS:
Settings > cellular > SIM PIN
Thanks!
Very welcome. Glad to help.
