How do I backup Android phone previous to picking up iPhone

I am switching my mom's phone (Galaxy S10e) to an iPhone 12. This will be a trade-in so we do not have both phones at home to use the "Move to iOS" app. The guy at AT&T said if we do it in the store it takes a LONG time. So how can we save all her data, apps, texts, passwords, etc to be downloaded to her new iPhone in the future?

Load new iPhone with data from Android AND iPod backup? My mom currently has an old android and an iPod touch. Her birthday is coming up, and I want to upgrade her to an iPhone 11. I was wondering about how the logistics of migrating her data from both of these devices would work. Her iPod is backed up to iTunes on her windows machine fairly regularly, but I don't know if I can use the "Move to iOS" app to migrate her phone's data after I restore from iTunes backup, or if this app only works during initial setup. If I initially set up her new phone with "Move to iOS", would I be able to load the iTunes backup on top of that, or would iTunes wipe everything from the phone to restore the backup? What's the best way to do this?

Backing up 2 different iPhones to one computer From my reading here, I understand that is fine to backup two different iPhones to the same computer. She has a iPhone 10 and I have a iPhone 11 but she now has a new 12 on order. She is very concerned that she might lose her pictures or music in the process. I prefer computer backups as compared to the cloud and I do not wish to mix our music between the phones so therefore I suppose that I shouldn't sync her phone to my iTunes. To my point, if we are going to back them up to the same computer, should I use her iTunes login for her phone and my login for my phone or does it make a difference? Any other advice would be welcomed.

You cannot. The iPhone will not be able to restore from an Android backup. Well, you could by individually offloading pictures, writing down passwords, etc. Or, you'll have to do it in store; but it will take a loooong time.
