Hi Rhodesss,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities and congratulations on your new iPhone. I understand that after transferring data to your new device, you're not seeing all of your apps. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to help. If you'd like to move forward without starting the transfer process over, you can redownload the apps from the App Store using these steps: Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books


If you'd like to try and retrieve the Home screen layout you had previously with your apps, you'll need to start over with transferring your data from the previous device or backup:



Please note that these processes require erasing your iPhone to start over with the transfer or restore, so any new data on your device will be erased and this information cannot be merged.



Best Regards.
