Not entirely sure what you’re asking about.


The iPhone SIM slot does not have a physical lock.

Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone - Apple Support


The SIM itself can have a PIN or PUK, and you’ll need to discuss that with your carrier.


An iPhone can be carrier-locked, and only the carrier can release that lock:

iPhone 14 models sold in the US are eSIM only, and have no SIM slot, and so no nanoSIM swapping.
