Unless you're not getting a new phone and going wilderness-survival mode, in which case that's cool too.

Anyway, the easiest way to back up an iPhone is via iCloud. Open the Settings app and tap your name at the top of the page, then tap iCloud. From there, tap iCloud Backup and hit the button that says "Back Up Now." You can also turn on automatic backups from this menu if you want, but as long as you remember to do it manually, that's fine too.

Suffice it to say, make sure you remember your Apple ID and password so you can, you know, access the backup when it's time to do that.
