A SIM card can be cloned. The iPhone itself, cannot be cloned, but its data can be copied. If using an eSim it can be also be copied to a different iPhone. This would take a while to complete however, so unless it was out oof your sight for an extended period of time (30 minutes or more), its unlikely to have happened.
Or if you have 2 devices both logged onto the same cloud and one is stolen can they get access to watch your screen listen to your microphone and access your data and saved files on the phone?
If they have access to your iCloud account, they can log into it, and see any files stored in iCloud. They can't get access to your camera, screen or microphone in any way.
I still have one of the iPhones and one was stolen which I put in lockdown mode and bc they knew the screen code took it out of lost mode. Somehow they are still able to access my files on my phone and see or hear the screen and mic.
Not possible. They are trying to trick you. As mentioned, they may have access to your files in iCloud and on the device if they managed to unlock it, but there is no way for them to see your screen or hear your mic. It's simply to something that can be done.
I know they have said they can clone phones and had a software or device able to do it with iPhones but even after changing my pad they are still accessing and even remotely controlling the phones mic and editing and deleting files saved on the device only.
Again, not really possible to do this. not sure what you are seeing, but I can almost guarantee this is not what is happening.
How is this possible and could it have something to do with the google accounts I also have on my I phone or is it the SIM card or remote accessing my device like was done with desktop computers by tech support.
Not possible to remote access an iPhone. Not through the sims are which only holds settings, and certainly not through a Google account.
If they have access to your iCloud account, they can modify files, contacts, calendar entries, notes and photos synced to iCloud, and you would see those modifications on your device.
You can stop this, by changing your iCloud password, and even changing the email address associated with your Apple ID.

Completely false. If you scroll and read every reason for software update directly from Apple, clearly this tells us that there vulnerabilities and malware if very possible along with remote access codes. Whoever believes this is not true, is uninformed

You do understand, Apple is fixing those issues? The fact they are fixed means they cannot be used. Almost none of security fixes apple published involve remote hacking, spyware or malware in any way. And only a very limited few have been known to have been actively exploited at one time. Most fixes Apple publishes happen before the actual vulnerability is known or even used on any one.
There are vulnerabilities in different parts of the OS, mostly dealing with website access. Most vulnerabilities require a ton of time, and resources to actually exploit. Unless you are a high value target, nobody is going to spend time and money to hack Joe Schmoe's iPhone.
There is absolutely no way anyone can remotely monitor or access your iPhone in the ways being suggested here.
Most hacks of devices involve access to data on them, not accessing the camera or microphone to listen to anyone.
Ok then
