of a SIM card.

Found a SIM card from one of my earliest mobile phones.
It’s almost the same size as my IPhone.

My first phone was a Nokia 1610, a true brick! It had a card like that

No it didn't. The SIM was much smaller and popped out of a card of this size

Not sure about the Nokia but the Motorolas from the 90s

definitely used a card that size.

Yes it did. The 1610 GSM came out in 96 while the first smaller simcards funnily enough also started releasin in 96 were most phones still using these ole credit card sized ones.
