I have an iPhone 6 which I’m thinking of trading in for an iPhone XR because:
a) software updates are no longer available for the 6 and
b) I would like a bigger screen.
(I’m not really interested in a better camera which is why I’m not opting for an 11).
Can I simply transfer the SIM card from the 6 straight into the XR?
I’ve been told that they may not be compatible.

Ok thanks. In fact 5G isn’t top of the list either - 4G works sufficiently well for my needs. The question was more about the physical compatibility. Will the SIM card in an iPhone 6 transfer seamlessly to an XR? I don’t really want the added cost of buying a new SIM card from my provider.
I could upgrade to an XR or better with my provider but, in the long term, this is considerably more expensive than buying a new model from Apple.
You may need a new sim from your carrier to use 5G service.
Both devices use a nano sim.
Ok thanks, but as I mentioned, 5G isn’t important.
Will my present 4G card fit the XR or is 5G mandatory?
