But if you'd rather not, you can use iOS 15 to borrow some iCloud storage for free to back up your old iPhone. You could pay Apple a couple of bucks a month for more storage.

If you're on Apple's free 5GB iCloud tier, that probably won't be enough. The downside is that you need enough storage on your iCloud account to fit the backup file. The upside to this process is that you don't need to be tied to a computer and you'll have access to your old phone while the new one is downloading your backup file. Then there's using iCloud to do the transfer. The downside to this process is that you won't be able to use either phone until the transfer process is complete, which can take an hour or more to finish. You can also use Apple's direct data migration tool that copies your old phone onto your new one without using a computer or iCloud.
