I have an iPhone 7. I absolutely need to change the contacts inside the SIM. I currently have in my SIM 50+ contacts. I need to remove most of them, keep about 10 and add other 10. This is very important but I cannot find a way to do it on iPhone. Please, my question is about SIM contacts, NOT iPhone contacts. Reply ONLY if you have a solutions.

The iPhone does not save or manage contacts in the SIM. If you have a SIM with contacts from a previous phone you can import them to the Contacts app on the phone, but there is no way to update or change the contacts stored in the SIM. Once in the Contacts app you can manage them as you would any other contact from any source.

This is not helpful. I need to manage the contact in SIM since my car software uses only the contacts from SIM when connected by Bluetooth, not the contacts in the iPhone. Every phone in the past was able to manage contacts in SIM. Why is iPhone so poor in that functionality?
Then the iPhone is the wrong product for you.
The iPhone does not manage SIM contacts because its contact manager has much more data than a SIM can accommodate. I suggest you return the phone if it doesn’t meet your needs.
Honestly, though, I’ve never seen this as an issue in 13 years of using iPhones. And I’ve never seen a car that can’t sync to the Contacts database on an iPhone.
Renault XMod Scenic 2013.
It sync with SIM.
And honestly I never seen a phone that cannot manage contacts on SIM.
Well, there are about 2 dozen models of iPhones over the past 13 years, and none of them could manage a SIM, from the very first.
And my iPhone syncs with my 2012 Prius.
