Swapping iphones

Hi,

I'm swapping Iphones with my mum, is there a way to have it so that the new phones set up exactly as we have our current ones?


We're doing it for contract reasons. My mums is an older phone, I'm paying off my contract and then saving the extra money to then get a new iphone later in the year but she wants the one I have.


We need them set up as our current ones are now.


Thanks

iPhone 12, 16

Back up both phones, either to a computer or to iCloud; erase the phones, then restore from backup.


Start here:


Back up iPhone - Apple Support



Then do this:


Restore all content to iPhone from a backup - Apple Support



Please read BOTH documents carefully. Good luck.
