Upgrade Iphone 6 to Iphone 8 plus

Hello! I am doing a phone upgrade - its a hand me down so not a new phone. Phone is unlocked and have a guru appointment at weekend to get someone to help me transfer/back up my files/data. Quick question on sim card size - I take it my sim card will simply pop from one phone into the other, it wont be a different size?

@SarahC Yes all you need to do is pop your SIM card into your new phone.

You can backup your 6 to iTunes then restore that to the 8 without the need for a guru appointment.

Or back up to your iCloud account then add the latest backup on your 8 when it asks you to during set up

The benefit of iTunes is that you can encrypt the backup which will save all your passwords to all accounts on the phone which means you don't have to remember to type them all in again.
