Stay connected to the internet and continue using the iPhone. Depending on the internet speed all apps will get downloaded from the App Store automatically. Apps don't transfer from iPhone to iPhone, only the app data along with app links to the App Store gets transferred.

My Notes app is selected to back up to cloud and did not transfer to new phone. Please advise. Thanks!

First, make sure they are in iCloud. Log in to https://icloud.com and click on Notes. If they are, on the phone go to Settings/[yourname]/iCloud and turn on the switch for Notes, then wait for it to sync; ideally connected to Wi-Fi and plugged in.


If they are not in iCloud they were not synced from the old phone to iCloud.
