Apple invented the iPhone in 2007, and it was the pinnacle of smartphones becasue of Apple ecosystem. Companies like Nokia were relying on hardware, while Apple focused on both. iPhone was probably the beginning of the iOS and pushed Google's Android OS as well.

In recent years, Apple saw a huge market in the entertainment industry, so they launched iTunes, where they can sell music, videos, and clips in the highest quality available from the label on the platform. iTunes store is not for free, and they charge few bucks for every music you want to download it.

Step 2: Sign out Apple ID on old iPhone and sign in on the new iPhone with the same Apple ID.

Step 3: Now turn on iCloud Music Library on new iPhone and the music will be copied to new iPhone within a few hours depending on how larget the music library is.
