Restore backup to new iphone 13 Pro

I have a new iphone 13 pro, wanted to restore my backup from my old iphone xs. When I try to restore my backup, it say "cannot be restored to this iphone because the software on the iphone is too old". Can guide me?

You may use a computer and USB cable to create usable backups

which should be useful to restore same to a new iPhone. However

sometimes, there may be a notification to update the old iPhone.


[There also may be a means to use SIM card data; with new iPhone.

That may require a reset of the old phone; to erase your data there.]


An 'iCloud Backup' is often an easy or better way to move user data.

The details on how to do these, are available online; or from search.
