Transferring contacts from one iPhone to another can be done easily using iCloud, iTunes, or the built-in Quick Start feature. Here's how to do it using iCloud:

**Using iCloud:**

1. **Backup Contacts to iCloud:**

   - On your old iPhone, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud.

   - Toggle on the "Contacts" option to enable iCloud backup for your contacts. Wait for the contacts to sync to iCloud.

2. **Verify iCloud Backup:**

   - Go to iCloud.com on a computer and sign in with your Apple ID.

   - Click on "Contacts" to verify that your contacts have been backed up successfully.

3. **Transfer Contacts to New iPhone:**

   - On your new iPhone, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud.

   - Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used to backup contacts.

   - Toggle on the "Contacts" option to enable iCloud sync. Your contacts will begin syncing to your new iPhone.

4. **Merge Contacts (Optional):**

   - If prompted, choose to merge contacts from iCloud with the existing contacts on your new iPhone.

5. **Wait for Sync:**

   - Wait for the contacts to finish syncing to your new iPhone. This process may take some time depending on the number of contacts.

6. **Verify Contacts:**

   - Once the sync is complete, go to the Contacts app on your new iPhone to verify that all your contacts have been transferred successfully.

That's it! Your contacts should now be transferred from your old iPhone to your new iPhone using iCloud.
