Can Backups to iCloud be downloaded onto a new iPhone ?

I'm planning to buy a new model iPhone and my old iPhone has been backing up everything to iCloud. So my question is is it possible to download everything that is being stored on iCloud to my new iPhone ?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Yes, iCloud will quite effectively duplicate your old phone onto your new device.


You will be asked during setup process of he new phone how you want to proceed.


However, since you will still have your old phone ... "Quick Start" is an even better/faster method.
