That depends on what type of data you wish to transfer.


If you want to transfer all data from an old iPhone to a new iPhone, your best option is to use QuickStart. But the QuickStart feature won't let you choose to transfer specific data. If you want to use this method, check this guide: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210216

If you want to transfer specific data like photos, videos, music, and so on, you can refer to these methods.


While if you want to transfer part or entire data from one iPhone to another within one program, you can check this guide on how to transfer data to a new iPhone.
