Hello,

I can assist you.

  • Are you signing into the same Apple ID as the old iPhone? If not please sign into the same Apple ID on both.
  • Are you using mobile data or wifi to set up the new iPhone? If you are using data then try with wifi.
  • On your old iPhone go to the settings app > tap your name at the top of the settings page > tap iCloud > then scroll down to iCloud backup. Make sure iCloud backup is turned on and that there is a backup there.

Hope this helps!
