Re: New upgrade
I recommend using Migration Assistant and transferring everything. Then, on your new computer, do the necessary cleanup. You can use a tool like AppCleaner to prompt you to delete app support files

Re: iPhone 16. Are some services optional?
I got my iPhone 15 last year. I¡¯d be interesting to see how your wife likes her new 16 in a few months. I like my 15, but there¡¯s a lot of stuff on it that was put on when it was new that I

Re: backup full res photos with "Optimize Mac Storage" enabled
This might be a novel solution, don¡¯t turn on optimize storage for the iCloud account. Then do regular backups to an external drive. The OP is fighting against a situation that is ¡°either/or¡±,
