If you have an iCloud or iTunes backup of the old phone: Transfer content from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Note that iCloud Backups would have been happening automatically if you had that option turned on.


The other possibility is that you had data synced to iCloud (iCloud Photos, Contacts, Notes, etc). If so, if you turn those same options on in the new phone they will automatically sync to it. The options are in Settings > [username] > iCloud.
