Can't use backup from icloud on new phone because IOS 12.3.2 is not available

My previous phone is an 8 plus, updated to 12.3.2 My new phone is an Xr, which can only update to 12.3.1. From some quick research is seems 12.3.2 is only for the 8 plus so I can't see it for the Xr. I don't have any previous icloud updates, I only created one now for the purpose of transfering to my new phone. My new phone cannot use the old update because the IOS are different. Any suggestions on how to work around this, or dial back my 8 plus to 12.3.2, or get my Xr to 12.3.1? Thanks

iPhone XR, iOS 12

Once more screwed by Apple!!

If you feel that way, did you take the time to contact Apple and ask them what you can do? With a brand new phone, you have 90 days of telephone support, or you can use their chat option, or ask for a call back. Any number of choices to speak directly to Apple. This is a user to user support forum and Apple does not participate here. I'll bet they have a solution. I've just not seen anything, since this is the first time I've seen this issue.

12.3.2 is only available to some iPhone 8 users and no other devices can run it.

Thanks, I understand .2 is not available on my new Xr, do you know if there's any way to roll back my 8 plus to .1? Thanks

No. There isn't. You'll have to wait to restore the backup of your old phone to the new one until Apple releases the next update for the Xr.

I’m having this same issue. So I just spent money for a new phone that is going to just make me angry trying to restore everything manually. Once more screwed by Apple!!
