How do I transfer some accounts connected to my iCloud and phone number?

My iPhone 14 has been compromised and I need to get a new sim, number and Apple ID. How do I transfer some accounts connected to my iCloud and phone number over to another email then back onto the new iCloud after resetting it. The issue I’m facing is that any email I make on this phone are not secure and can be hacked into

If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
  7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.


If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.

Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.


iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken


It (Hacking) also depends on how careful you are in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password, etc with your friends and family members.


Be judicious when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.



If you don't reckon what is said above is true then you have two options...

  1. Report the hacking incident that you are facing to the local law enforcement authorities and follow it up
  2. Believe it, it can't be hacked. There are people who still believe that the earth is flat and also some believe no one has ever landed on the moon. What can anyone do about that? This is a free world you can believe in anything, the choice is yours.

The SIM card in an iPhone primarily serves to establish internet connectivity and facilitate communication with the cellular network.


When it comes to data storage and transfer between devices, the SIM card isn’t directly involved. Instead, other components like the iPhone's internal storage, cloud services, and applications handle this functionality. The SIM card's main purpose remains rooted in connecting your device to the network, allowing access to cellular services and the internet.


For data transfer between iPhones or other devices, features like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AirDrop, and cloud-based services such as iCloud or third-party apps become essential. They enable seamless sharing and syncing of data, ranging from photos and videos to documents and applications, without relying on the SIM card.


In essence, while the SIM card is pivotal for establishing connectivity and enabling basic communication functions, it doesn’t directly facilitate the storage or transfer of data between devices on an iPhone, leaving that task to other integral components and connectivity features within the device ecosystem.
