"What to do?

Transferring to a News iPhone:
Two Methods - Quick Start or iCloud:
Use Quick Start:
The transfer may have stalled. So, is Quick Start what you used here? Either way, I recommend you restore your new iPhone to factory settings, and then perform this once more, using Quick Start: Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Sync Through iCloud:
Sign in to the same iCud Account on both devices. Then enable items (i.e. Photos) in iCloud on both phone. All pertaining items will be accessible between the two devices. As an example, here is how to go about this for Contacts:
On Both iPhones...
- Go to: Settings
- Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
- Tap: iCloud
- Tap: Contacts
- Enable: iCloud Contacts
