How can I fix setup errors on my new iPhone 16 Pro Max?

My new iPhone pro max shows the following on its screen:


Finish on New iPhone

Keep this iPhone near your new iPhone while

your information is transferred.


Below that is the spinning busy whirligig.


I think it should say keep this iPhone near your old iPhone.

About "Keep this iPhone near your New iPhone":

The word "this" is a pronoun, and, intros case, it is referring to the old iPhone. You are performing QuickStart here. Bluetooth can only so unto 30 feet away. If you lost the connection, then not all items get transferred, and as a result, it may not work 100% as it did afterwards. So, keep it close by, to keep a successfully transfer.
