Do I transfer my SIM card before or after this process?

I bought a new 11 Pro Max and I want to setup/transfer from my old phone (XR). I looked up how to do this and found the apple quick start, my question is do I transfer my SIM card before or after this process? Also do I open "Quick Start" on my old phone to start? I'm no good at this stuff lol.

iPhone XR

Yes, you move the SIM card before or after you start the transfer. I personally do it before.

As part of the set up process on the new phone, you will be prompted to move the data over.
