Hello design67,


Congrats on a new iPhone. This page has what you need to do before actively setting up the new iPhone from your previous iPhone:

Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Before you begin
• If you have an Apple Watch and you got a new iPhone, unpair your Apple Watch from your previous iPhone before you set up your new device. Unpairing automatically backs up your Apple Watch so you can restore it after you pair with a new iPhone. 
• Make sure that you have a backup of your device.
• Have your Apple ID and password ready.
Transfer your SIM card from your iPhoneiPad, or eSIM. If your new device needs a different SIM card than what you have, contact your carrier.
• Make sure that you have a backup of your previous device. If you purchased a new iPhone or iPad, you may be eligible for temporary iCloud storage.

Take care!
