I have three devices. An old iphone 6s plus, all backed up in itunes on my mac mini. New iphone 11.
I want to set up the 11 correctly on this first try.
It's important to me that even the CD music transfers.
What's the simplest best way to make sure the entire migration is complete?
Thank in advance.
Create an encrypted backup of your iPhone 6s using iTunes and then restore it on your iPhone 11.
Note that iTunes syncs music from the Library that is on a computer. So if you do not have all of the music you want there, it won't transfer.

Connect the phone to your Mac with the cable. Launch iTunes. Unlock the phone (enter your passcode) if necessary. Since this is your first time connecting the phone to the Mac, you will get a pop up message asking if you want to Trust This Computer. Click on Trust.

After you trust the computer, select your phone from the device icon at the top in the iTunes side bar. You should get a prompt to set the iPhone up as new or restore the backup. You want to restore the backup. Select the backup that you want to restore and then restore it.

After the backup restores, sync your phone with iTunes. If you synced the iPhone 6 with iTunes in the past which I assumed that you did, your sync settings should already be set to sync all of the music that you imported from CD’s.
If you eject the phone after restoring the backup, Leave your phone connected to WiFi in order to download all of your apps.
If for some reason all of the music or other content that you wanted to sync didn’t come over, just go through each section and make sure that the content that you want to sync is selected to sync and then sync again.
Thank you. Ok I have an encrypted back up. By "restore" do you mean power up the 11 for the first time then plug the 11 into my mini and restore through itunes somehow?
yes.
