Assuming you are logged in on your new iPhone with the same Apple ID as those apps were originally downloaded with you can open the App Store app.


Tap your name icon in the upper right corner of the App Store->tap Apps->tap My Apps and all of your previous apps will be displayed for you to download again.


However you could have avoided this by restoring your new iPhone from the backup of your old iPhone and those app would have been downloaded automatically (it usually takes awhile depending how many apps)


Finally, if you are using a different Apple ID on your new iPhone all is lost and you will have to download and pay again for every app again. All purchases (even free ones) are tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.


And last but not least, as sberman points out, if the app no longer exists in the App Store you cannot download it you new iPhone and are out of luck.
