Setting up new iphone

My iphone 7 plus cannot switch on, it stays on the Apple logo and blinks. I bought an iphone 15. I got access to my apple id but the phone number associated with it is now an Android phone. How do I go about set up my new iphone and will I be able to transfer all my information from the old phone to it? Do I need to disassociate my iphone 7 Plus before or after I attempt to set up my new phone?

iPhone 7 Plus, 15
