Sieghard, As mentioned earlier, I've set up several Iphones but never
had one which used the contact message. On my Iphone 8, I purposefully
changed the setting in camera from Video to Photo when the first contact
didn't work, assuming it might have been the Video setting. Nothing
changed when I set it to Photo so that wasn't the problem. My first
attempt might have been sloppy as the Swiping instead of the button is
new to me. I now have it practised and mastered.
Having accomplished this mastery, I decided to try again after starting
from scratch and setting up the XR as a new phone; still no luck. If
one only gets one chance despite starting from scratch, I consider this
a serious bug.

First of all, there is no need to open the Camera app.
When you get to the point where you have to scan the screen, it's the screen on
the new device which you have to scan with the old device. Here is what is says
in the Apple article about Quick Start:
Turn on your new device and place it near your current device. The Quick Start
screen appears on your current device and offers the option of using your Apple
ID to set up your new device. Make sure that it's the Apple ID that you want to
use, then tap Continue. If you don't see the option to continue on your current
device, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
Wait for an animation to appear on your new device. Hold your current device
over the new device, then center the animation in the viewfinder. Wait for a
message that says Finish on New [Device].
If you can't use your current device's camera, tap Authenticate Manually, then
follow the steps that appear.
Here is the link to the entire article, I have done this with my iPhone 11 as
well as my wife's iPhone 11 Pro when we upgraded from the iPhone 8 we both had
before and it worked just fine.

It sounds like you already went through the initial setup process, transferring
from one phone to the next has to be done almost at the very beginning of the
initial setup, I don't think you can do it after the fact.

Subject: Transferring from Iphone 8 to Iphone XR
First, I'm no stranger to both setting up a new Iphone, or successfully
transferring all data from one phone to another using Itunes.
The Iphone XR is the first one I've used without a home button. I called apple
disability support to save me time digging through the apple site and Iphone
manual. So, I learned how to invoke SIRI with the side button and the swipe up
from the bottom etc to bring up desired screens.
However, I get no response when holding my new Iphone face over the old Iphone
also face up no matter how I move the new phone to get focus from the front
camera of the old Iphone. What am I doing wrong? I've already tried cursing and
swearing!
Hope that all makes sense?
