Get a text message, ostensibly from ATT (never can quite tell these days), that the old iPhone will be shut off and the new one activated overnight (5G looming, for better or worse) -- so, time to deal with the new one sent way back last April, that, at first, seemed suspicious. Plug it in, power it up, but it asks for a security coda, and haven't a clue. Upon further reflection, remember it, and begin the process of transitioning over.
starting with taking, and now uploading, the first heic (as opposed to jpeg) picture. And, lo, it works -- both types of files as clearer on the new device and the new protocol as space saver (and we shall see how transferable in future)... Amazed that apps can be downloaded, even though the phone line itself has not been turned on -- and, to delight download Cloudmap, Google Maps (disappointed that inane tabs at top re restaurants, etc. cannot be hidden, but still better than Apple Maps, re ability to stay on satellite view and monitor traffic), Metronome, Piano, Tuner, and Weather Undergroud -- amazed that many of these had become inoperable on the old iPhone 4s over the years (including Apple Weather). Place all the apps in alphabetical order on two screens, change the Ringer to Old Phone, Alarm to Sonar, shut off Siri and as many Notifications as can be found, and am pretty pleased overall.
