Personally I didn’t do anything other than put my PIN code in the new phone
and old phone. The new phone was already preloaded with the standard Apple
apps and the required Microsoft ones. When I got there the technician
synced the two phones by bringing up the funny squirming ball on my phone
and using the camera on the new phone to scan it. I assume that is a
migration.
