Is all the info on an iPhone stored on the simm card or just carrier info? Would replacing the simm be the solution to a phone that we think has been compromised?

Apple does not store user data on a SIM card.

The SIM card only holds your number and carrier settings. It does not hold any data from the iPhone itself whatsoever.
What makes you think the device itself has been compromised?
No, replacing the SIM card will not do anything in regards to a compromised iPhone. However, do note that unless the iPhone is jailbroken there is no known method of remotely hacking an iPhone.
The Apple ID may have been compromised, but that has nothing to do with the device itself. If you believe your Apple ID has been accessed, then change your password for it and engage 2 Factor Authentication if it's not already on.

Perhaps if you explain what makes you think its been compromised, someone can provide some help to resolve it.
Thanks for replying to my post. I posted earlier that my niece's phone was put on the charger unlocked Friday Night, then on Saturday morning she was locked out. PW would not work, no fingerprint ID either. Saturday night she noticed that the Camera came on for no reason.
Please keep posts to a single thread as otherwise it can get very confusing. I will request the moderators to merge these threads as they refer to the same thing. And will answer in your previous thread about this.
