How do I transfer my phone number from my iPhone 8 to my iPhone 12?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
A phone number is part of the SIM not the handset. All you need to do is move the SIM from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone 12. Both phones use the Nano SIM.

Hi - If you are in the USA, there may be a bit more to it.
See:
I see, that would be the process for iPhones 8 to 12 for SIM to eSIM?
Would moving the physical Nano SIM across still work?
The article also covers physical sim transfer, but links to further steps.
Damnit - no it doesn't, that is the wrong article :-/
You can move the physical SIM to the new phone and it will transfer your number and account. The eSIM will still be available for a 2nd line if you want one.
It is possible* that I have completely misread that article. Sorry.
*If "possible" can include 100% probability :-)
Don’t worry about it. That’s one reason there are lots of other users in the forum 😁
