In my Moto G5, I can still use WhatsApp after removing the SIM card, after I successfully validated my phone number.
Would this method work in an iPhone?

Yes, a Sim Card is not required to use Whatsapp. Whatsapp doesn't use your network provider to function as text messages do. Text messages require a Sim Card to recieve the message to your phone number.

Whereas, Whatsapp doesn't use your phone number to receive messages. It uses your phone number to make an account to which messages can be sent and received.
If you are setting up an account with the phone with no Sim, make sure you have your Sim in to receive the verification code.
