Why not just do what EVERYBODY does when they get a new iPhone? If the old phone is backing up to iCloud, you would just give the new phone the old phone's phone # and then restore from iCloud.
You can also back up to iTunes. I have replaced an iPhone that way.
Be sure to hook up your iPhone to your computer and use the Windows Dialogue to copy the Camera Roll (Photos) to your computer.

iTunes does not care what SIM you have so far as I know because you are connecting with USB cable.
Yes, but he can't switch the SIM card from one phone to the other.
True, but so long as the new phone has the same phone number it should work. Perhaps that is the point you were making? I assumed the asker would set up the phone number first.

Yes, I see what you are saying. Of course you cannot move the SIM card.
