User level: Level 1 (4 points)How can I transfer my mom's iPhone 14 to iPhone 16. It acts like it's going to and then nothing happens. Does the iPhone 14 need to be updated to 27.1 or whatever it's called?

The iPhone can be on a lower iOS version than the iPhone 16. The iPhone 16 must be on at least the same or higher version than the iPhone 14.
Is the iPhone 16 brand new, purchased from Apple or an Apple Authorized Seller?
