No, you don't need a different SIM card for an iPhone unless you are switching from a phone that uses a different type of SIM card (e.g., micro-SIM to nano-SIM). Most modern smartphones, including iPhones, use nano-SIM cards. Verify the SIM card size before switching, and if needed, you can easily acquire a new SIM card from your carrier.
