Why does my new phone has old phone data when I did not setup it from a backup but set it up as a new phone

Why is my old phone data on my new phone when it did not set it up from a backup? I set it up as a new phone, but used my Apple ID.

iPhone 13, iOS 15

The following data will flow into your new device, even if you set it up as a new one and use the same Apple ID that was used to sync data with the iCloud.


iCloud backup doesn’t include information that is synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice MemosMessages*, shared photosiCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.


*-If you had turned on Messages in iCloudiCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud and is available on all devices that use the same Apple ID
