If I swap SIM cards, will the phone I newly installed the SIM into be identical to the old one? Both are iphone 8.

I have two iphone 8's. If I swap SIM cards will the new one be like a clone of the old one? (I realize the contacts will not be in the SIM). Thanks.

iPhone 8

No. iPhones do not store any data at all on the SIM. All the SIM does is connect the device to the cellular network.
