Starting a new iPhone -- 14

I'd like to restart the transfer process as the storage size on the old phone is larger than the apparent size of the new phone. I recall doing this once before on another phone, but I don't remember the process and the only entry I can find is dated 2013!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.4
