Use new or existing Apple ID for new iPhone?

I got a new iPhone and don't know whether to create a new Apple ID or use my old one. Will my data be transferred if I use the same Apple ID again? I don't want to transfer photos or videos. The only things I'd like to transfer are my contacts and WhatsApp chat, if that's possible?

What is connected to the Apple ID, i.e. what data would be available on my new iPhone?

Another problem if you use your Apple ID for the App Store and buy apps about it, you need to buy it again with a new account

As long as you use Apple devices, you only need an Apple ID. All your purchases and subscriptions are connected.

If desired, you can change your Apple ID email and password at any time.

I can’t say what it looks like with iCloud and photos. I hardly use iCloud, move photos and videos to the PC and then secure them externally.

If the photos and videos are only stored locally on the old iPhone, they will not be transferred. If they are in the iCloud, they will not be automatically transferred to the new iPhone – they will only be accessible on the new phone. A new ID therefore hardly makes sense.

Look at icloud.com. As I said, the images are not transmitted.

Hi, it only makes sense to take the same, everything else makes hardly any sense.

You’ll get your old iPhone mirrored on your new one, i.e. the same apps, the same pictures etc.

You can do this with the Quick Start option. When you set up your new iPhone, just put it next to your old one and tap Quick Start. Then you can select everything to be transferred.

Use existing Apple ID so you can also easily & easily drag your data from one to the other iPhone!

I would use the existing Apple ID.

You can decide what you want to transfer and what you don’t want.
