I'm planning to upgrade from an iPhone 6 to a new 11. The 6 apparently won't run the new iOS 13, but presumably the 11 will be shipped with it.
Will I be able to transfer the data, or should I plan to configure the new one manually?
iPhone
Yes, you should be able to transfer your data from either an iTunes or iCloud backup (or the Quick Start process) to the new phone.

What you can’t do is to restore a backup from a device running a newer iOS onto a target device that is running an older iOS. You will be restoring a backup from an iOS 12 device to an iOS 13 device so you will be fine.
Perfect, thanks! I don't think I've ever gone this long between upgrades, and I wanted to make sure I had everything squared away ahead of time.
Do both phones need to be running the same iOS to transfer data?
