Transferring Data Between iPhones:

Sync Through iCloud:

One method would be to enable items (i.e. Photos) in iCloud on both iPhones. All pertaining items will be accessible between the two devices. As an example, here is how to go about this for photos. You'd just have to download them again.

On Both iPhones...

1. Go to: Settings
2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
3. Tap: iCloud
4. Tap: Photos
5. Enable: iCloud Photos

iTunes has been discontinued on newer versions of MacOS and the method is connecting via Finder.

Good catch, thank you. I was thinking on Windows, I have edited my reply accordingly.
