Did you follow the instructions in this link-->Transfer content from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Backups do not include apps; they include an index to the apps on your phone. When you restore a backup that index is restored, then iOS uses it to identify and download the apps from the app store. This can take some time if you have a lot of apps or large apps. Note that it will only download apps that were originally downloaded or purchased with the Apple ID that the phone is logged in to. If you have apps that were downloaded with other Apple IDs they will not be included in the restore. And if any of the apps are no longer available in the app store they cannot be restored.
