For people upgrading from iPhone 15 Pro Max to iPhone 16 Pro Max, thoughts about transferring/setting up the new iPhone using WiFi or what about connecting the two directly with a Thunderbolt cable? Maybe the Thunderbolt connection could make things move along faster?
 
Just keep both the old iPhone and new iPhone on & next to each other and let the old phone transfer the stuff over automatically. It’s brainless and painless and fast enough

Though wireless can take hours+. I'm hoping that the Thunderbolt wired connection will be faster.

iPhone not support Thunderbolt. You confusing USB-C connector with TB data protocol. USB-C is physical connector which support multiple data protocols. iPhone support USB protocol only.

Yup, that's exactly what I do too.

Does it use BT or NFC to transfer between phones ??
