Well, I did not do a fresh install. I transferred from my other phone. It took less than 20 minutes. I had to go to a friend’s to do it all because we have crap internet, and limited usage before it slows you down to 1996 dial-up speeds, so I just had to get it done.

But when you all do this, do you have to put in every contact from your phone and stuff like that? Cuz gosh if that’s the case, I will likely never do it. I’ll probably be carrying around iPhone 11 stuff with me when iPhone 27 comes out. ;-p
All your contacts are in your iCloud, so they don’t need to be reentered all over again.
