Click on this link --> https://support.apple.com/HT201269 to learn how to "Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch". Select one of the three options: Quickstart, iCloud, or iTunes/Finder.


Some things are not stored in a backup. Click on this link and read "About missing information after you restore your iOS device with iCloud Backup" -->

- Make sure that iCloud Photos is turned on

- Sign in with the same Apple ID


If you were not using iCloud photos to sync your photographs then they may still be stored on another device or as part of a backup. You can restore the backup ( https://support.apple.com/HT204184 ) to recover the photos but doing this will require erasing your device and restoring everything back to the time when you made that backup.
