how to update iPhone 14 to latest iOS 16 before moving all your data from old phone

It is my understanding that the new iPhone 14 phones will need to be updated to the latest version of IOS 16, whatever the version is once the phones start to arrive, immediately before you do your final set-up. If you want to transfer your data from an old phone using Quick Start would you need to set-up your new phone first then update the OS and finally erase the new phone and then run Quick Start using your old phone?


Or is there a better way?

No run quick start, new phone will run the new update, after it is done it will continue with the transfer.
