How do I restore my photos on a new device?

If you had iCloud Photo Library turned on in the old device, turn it on in the new one and the photos should automatically sync to it. See the following for instructions on how to turn it on: iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support

If you didn't have iCloud Photo Library turned on in the old device but did have a backup, see: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

This may mean:

• Restore photos that were saved in a previous device's iCloud backup. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
• Restore photos that were saved in iCloud Photo Library (because they were housed there on a previous device). iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support
