Hello warren679,


We are glad to hear about the new iPhone 13 and want to help get that set up.


Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


"Quick Start occupies both devices, so make sure that you choose a time when you won't need to use your current device for several minutes."


The other option is to Use iCloud to transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We've added both articles to help you determine what works best for you.


Cheers.
