How do I transfer my data from old to new iPhone?

if i bought icloud storage in the new one would the info be downloaded from the old one ??

If you buy iCloud storage on your new device, it doesn’t automatically download data from your old one unless the old device has already backed up or synced its data to iCloud.

For that to happen, the old device must be:

• Connected to the internet (Wi-Fi or cellular).
• Logged into the same Apple ID associated with the iCloud storage.
• Set to back up or sync the specific data you want (like Photos, Contacts, Messages, etc.) under Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud.

Once the old device uploads the data to iCloud, the new device—using the same Apple ID—can then download and sync that data. If the old device hasn’t backed up or synced to iCloud yet, nothing will transfer until it does.

If the old phone is in a reboot cycle, I doubt if buying more iCloud storage will do anything to break the reboot cycle.

The old phone's not likely to be doing any more backups to iCloud or synchronization to iCloud until you can break the reboot cycle (without erasing it).

Hopefully,

• You can break the reboot cycle without erasing the phone, or
• Most/all of your data was already backed up and/or synchronized to iCloud before the phone went into the reboot cycle.
