Porting All Data to New iPhone

Since it has been several years since I purchased a new iPhone, I wanted to inquire about the most reliable way to port all of the content from my old iPhone 8 to a new iPhone 13. Since I do not have enough back-up capacity on iCloud, in the past I relied on my phone back-up in Music (i.e. iTunes). Is there an alternative method of porting the content that is preferable?


Thank you so much for your help.

Here are the various methods. Although Quick Start looks very convenient, I (who move to a new iPhone roughly annually) use the Music method you refer to. I find it thorough.
