We can observe a locked smartphone with biometrics deactivated after numerous unsuccessful attempts in the demonstration video below. After changing the SIM, you will be prompted to "Enter SIM PIN." Users are prompted for the PUK code, which you are aware of because it is on your SIM card, after three unsuccessful PIN tries.
When you enter a new PIN number for that SIM card after successfully entering the previous one, the phone will unlock to your homescreen and give you full access.

It generated a $70,000 prize and is classified as a "System" problem with "High" severity in the November security patch.
