Will Apps delete on both phones that have been data transferred?

right now I have the iPhone 11, and I might get the 12. If I move all of my stuff to the 12, it’s still on the 11. But, if I delete things (e.g. apps) on the 12 (new phone), will it also delete that app on the 11? I’ve tried googling it and stuff but I can’t explain it properly.

Installed apps will stay on your old iPhone as long as you don't delete them from there.

Deleting apps from the new iPhone will not delete them from any other iOS device connected to your Apple ID.
