Hello garrett2016,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and congratulations on your new iPhone. The following link has information about how to set up your iPhone, and transfer your data. The answer to your question can be found on step 3:


3- Activate your iPhone or iPad
You need to connect to a Wi-Fi network or a cellular network to activate and continue setting up your device. 
Tap the Wi-Fi network that you want to use or, if available, tap Continue Without Wi-Fi to use your device's cellular network. If you're setting up an iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular), you might need to insert your iPhone SIM card or iPad SIM card first. You might also be asked to activate your eSIM.
Get help if you can't connect to Wi-Fi or if you can't activate your iPhone.
 

Set up your iPhone or iPad


We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
