Or thinking about it? And do you have an Apple Watch?

You're going to have to unpair it from your old iPhone, then pair it to your new one. Here's how!

Unpairing the watch will wipe its information. Your iPhone automatically backs up your Apple Watch data (almost all of it, anyway, with the exception of a few things like credit cards used for Apple Pay). So before you switch iPhones, back up your old phone (with the watch data) to iCloud or iTunes. You may want to do it manually to make sure you've got everything covered.

In iOS 8 or later, go to "Settings," "iCloud," and "Backup." In iOS 7 or earlier, go to "Settings," "iCloud," and "Storage & Backup."

Turn on "iCloud Backup." Hit "Back Up Now."

Go back to the main "iCloud" screen, then hit "Storage" and "Manage Storage" and select your iPhone. See the time and date of your latest backup? You're good to go.
