The App data is transferred from your old iPhone, however, the actual Apps are downloaded from the App Store so that the latest versions are transferred on to your new iPhone. Once in a while, the transfer may stall as the apps are being downloaded.

It appears that the apps have paused downloading on your iPhone. Do you have your iPhone plugged to power and connected to a strong Wi-Fi Network? If YES, then tap on one of those Apps that is paused and choose continue downloading/installing. See whether this kickstarts the downloading and installation process.

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.


Apps & Settings --> Apart from the Apps following will also not get transferred.

  1. Content from the iTunes and App Stores or PDFs downloaded directly to Apple Books
  2. Content synced from iTunes, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
  3. Data already stored in iCloud, like iCloud Photos, iMessages, and text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages
  4. Face ID or Touch ID settings
  5. Apple Pay information and settings
  6. Apple Mail data
  7. Apple Music
