Above Taimienphi has completed  copying contacts from iPhone to sim using iTools, although transferring contacts still requires an Android device, but because of the iOS mechanism, we can't do anything else but jailbreak it. Of course, jailbreaking brings many dangers to your device and especially in new operating systems, jailbreaking is not yet possible.

But through here you can see that backing up phone contacts on Android is much simpler, perhaps iOS developers do not want users to easily abandon this operating system, so its mechanism is more complicated than backing up Android phone contacts. However, copying contacts from iPhone to SIM using iTools is also a method that does not take too much of your time.
