New phone/ app download

I just got a new iPhone and I’m trying to download all of my apps but it won’t let me because it’s connected to a previous Apple ID. I’m logged into my new one but the apps won’t download even if I delete them and try to re-download them.

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

👉 You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.

The apps that you have purchased & downloaded with your previous Apple ID cannot be downloaded with your 'new' Apple ID.
