Hey junos193,


It appears that you'd like to use a backup you made from your iPhone 6 to your iPhone XR, and we're glad to provide assistance.

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support -- If they were named similarly, you can always restore a backup to see what it contains.
