When setting up the new iPhone in the Setup Assistant, you'll get to the "Apps & Data" page where you can select to "Restore from iCloud Backup". You'll sign into your Apple ID and select the backup from the old iPhone.

If you do not have an iCloud Backup, you'll select "Setup as New Device" and then sign into your Apple ID to download all of your iCloud Data.

You can switch the SIM cards before setting up the device. I recommend that you place your old iPhone in Airplane Mode.
