Dear Gona981,


First of all congrats on the upgrade :)


There are 2 ways you can transfer your data from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 13.


The first one is to make a iCloud backup. Go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud backup (the settings might be called a bit different, I cant recall the exact names because I haven't used that version of iOS for a while). Ones you made a iCloud backup you can start setting up your new iPhone. Make sure to log in with the same Apple ID as your prevous iPhone to select your iCloud backup.


For more details on the first method, check out this Apple Support article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210217?cid=tw_sc_icloud_092421


The second way is to make a backup on a Mac or PC (PC using iTunes). Check this video out on how to make a backup on a Mac:

Ones you did this you can start setting up your new iPhone, and select the "Move data from Mac or PC" tab when asked on how to set up your new device. Plug in your new iPhone into your Mac or PC and select your previous iPhone from the menu bar.


Check out this article for more details on the second method: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210218?cid=tw_sc_icloud_092421


Lastly, this is the Apple Support article to get all the info you need plus all the info above: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201269?cid=tw_sc_icloud_092421


Hope it helps :)
