Hello janay646,
We would like to address your question about transferring iCloud data to the new iPhone.
Use iCloud to transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support and review the quoted steps below:
Turn on your new device. A "Hello" screen should appear. If you've already set up your new device, you need to erase it before you can use these steps.*
Follow the steps until you see the Wi-Fi screen.
Tap a Wi-Fi network to join. Follow the steps until you see the Apps & Data screen, then tap Restore from iCloud Backup.
Sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID and password.
When asked, choose a backup. Make sure that it's the correct one by checking the date and size of each. Learn what to do if you're asked to update to a newer version of iOS or iPadOS.
If you purchased iTunes or App Store content using multiple Apple IDs, sign in to each. If you can't remember the passwords, you can skip this step by tapping "Don't have an Apple ID or forgot it."
Stay connected and wait for the restore process to finish, then complete the rest of the onscreen setup steps. If possible, keep your device connected to Wi-Fi and plugged into power after setup. This allows content like your photos, music, and apps stored in iCloud to automatically download back to your device.
We hope this helps.
Cheers.
