[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1826458, member: 46727"] I've done this many times with all the new phones we have owned. iTunes will not erase your phone when setting up as new, however, make sure you have a current backup using iMazing just in case Murphy's Law gets the best of you. ;) Whenever you attach a new iOS device to your Mac (iPad, iPod, iPhone) iTunes will automatically open and offer to set it up as a new device. And if you had a backup made from a previous device it will use that to set the phone up. In your situation, the phone is new and you have already done most of the work. You should be fine. And by the way, that's a great deal on getting the second XR. The XR was Apple's most popular and best selling iPhone in 2018 and continues to be a big money maker for them this year. [/QUOTE]
