You did not find a discarded iphone. If you found one, you need to turn it in to proper authorities. Try to use it, and it could alert the owner and/or apple.
Don't use the iphone it's dangerous, m8.
Nnaybe you should try to find out who's it is and give it back
Turn it in at phone store or police station.
Leave your contact information with the clerk.
"Finders keepers" isn't the law, legally you can't just take it. If you do then that is considered theft by finding
To answer your question, no, it doesn't work like that. SIM cards don't hold any data, swapping the SIM may allow you to receive calls via that number but that's it. The passcode will still be there, all their data will still be there. Also their iCloud info will be there which means you won't be able to restore it without entering their password, making the phone as useful as a paperweight
The phone would have Activation Lock on it so it would be a paperweight without the Apple ID & password originally signed into it.
So you could change the SIM all you want, wouldn't help it being 'your' phone.
If the person who lost it, had a passcode lock set, then you'll be unable to reimage it.

- If I report a phone as lost/stolen AFTER the thief gets a chance to put a sim card in, would it lock the phone just like that? Got my iPhone SE stolen a few days ago, and Koodo is supposedly calling me tomorrow to ask if I want to report it as stolen. Is it possible that the thief is able get away with this? Also if they manage to unlock the carrier somehow?
- Can you switch the iPhone 4 SIM card with an iPhone 4S SIM card? My mom has an iPhone 4S for sprint and I have an iPhone 4 for AT&T. Is it possible to switch SIM cards?
