Prepaid SIM

I currently have an iphone 6s that I bought from At&t with their prepaid phone plan. If I buy the Xr from Apple without any carriers attached, can I put my old SIM card in and turn the Xr into a prepaid phone? Will the SIM even fit?

All iphones use the same nano SIM format.

In most countries an unlocked phone direct from Apple will just activate with the old SIM.

In USA some providers need to allow the new IMEI number to use the service.
