When you follow the transfer procedure → Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support initially just data is (are) transferred, including system data and app data. Once that completes your apps are downloaded from the app store and your iTunes and/or Apple Music content is downloaded. If you have music from sources other than Apple on your phone you must sync that from iTunes or the Music app on your computer.
