First, yes you CAN move your existing SIM and your new phone will work fine w/ your existing number.

However, to realize all the benefits of the 5G network, you should have your SIM re-provisioned by your carrier for your new 5G phone.

You might also consider having your 13 provisioned w/ an eSIM profile vice a “hard” SIM. (hard SIMs after all are so “late 20th Century”). 😉

Lastly, if you order directly from Apple and so-indicate when ordering; you new 13 will actually self-provision it’s eSIM w/ your phone number over-the-air (OTA) as soon as you turn it on and it connects to your mobile network.
