I'm trying to figure out if my iPhone 16 Pro Max has been jailbroken or if someone has swapped my SIM card. I've reached out to Verizon, but they haven't been helpful. What signs should I look for to ensure my phone is safe?

Currently, there aren't any jailbreaks specifically for the iPhone 16 Pro. You can reset your device and reinstall iOS anytime. Also, keep in mind that the iPhone 16 Pro primarily uses eSIM, so if you're concerned about a SIM swap, that situation is a bit different than with traditional SIM cards.
To check if your phone is jailbroken, see if there are any extra app installers like Cydia or Sileo in addition to the App Store. It's a sign if you find any weird apps not available in the official store. On the other hand, if your phone is SIM swapped, you'd typically see a 'no service' message since calls and messages would be redirected to another device. Make sure your SIM details match what Verizon has on file. If everything seems normal, you're likely in the clear!
Thanks for the info! I didn't realize the signs were so different. I'll check for those apps now.
