  1. Your contacts should be stored in whatever email accounts you used on the other iPhone. Log into those accounts and turn on the contacts option, and they should sync onto the new one.
  2. The apps, should have been automatically set to re-download from the app store if you restored a backup from the old iPhone onto the new one. If you did not do that, then you{ll need to redownload them manually: link-> Redownload apps and games from Apple - Apple Support
