Transfer of data to a replacement iPad simply requires that you restore your iCloud or iTunes backup to the replacement iPad. The data restore can be invoked during initial set-up of the new iPad. If your existing iPad remains functional, other methods can also be used to transfer data directly from old to new iPad.


These support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new iPad:

Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


More information about restoring from an existing backup can be found here:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup – Apple Support


Apps themselves are not directly transferred by way of the backup, but are easily downloaded again from the App Store to your replacement iPad. Purchased Apps are permanently tied to your AppleID - and are available for installation on compatible devices that are signed-in to the App Store with your AppleID.
