Transferring data and apps

I do have icloud backup but what if I don't want to transfer data and apps to my new phone?

How will this effect my new phone and icloud backup?

After the transfer, whichever of the three processes you use, stay connected to the internet and continue using the iPhone. Depending on the internet speed all apps will get downloaded from the App Store automatically. Apps don't transfer from iPhone to iPhone, only the app data along with app links to the App Store gets transferred.
