iPhone 17 Pro setup failed using Phone to Phone transfer

Two attempts to set-up my new Apple iPhone 17 Pro from my iPhone 15 Pro failed. Finally set up the new phone via iCloud. A back up was completed before the Phone to Phone method was tried. Has this been a common issue?

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26
