I pray to the tech gods before any migration but the last few times everything has worked out alright.
-
In all of my moves from one iPhone to another I've always just backed up the old iPhone in iTunes and then restored it on to the new iPhone and pretty much everything is there. I don't use iCloud at all.
(There are some things that don't copy over, such as saved passwords and wifi passwords, which is a bit annoying, but less of a problem if you use a password manager.)

It’s really easy if you can use the ‘quick start’ method. Have iCloud backup. Bring the phones together. let them do other thing. New phone is exactly like old phone. You do have to set up security things again like touch/Face ID, and anything in Apple Pay.

I just did that, I put the new phone next to the old SE, and the new phone sucked everything out of the old SE and it's all good. Some sort of magic wifi trick, no need for icloud backup (I don't use icloud).

Sorry I'm an idiot and I've got an iphone question that I hope the hove mind of LFGSS can help with.
I've got an old 2016 SE and it's dying on its ass. Battery life is now laughable as is the memory. If I buy a used 2022 SE, how easy is it to transfer everything over? Not just the apps, I want to transfer over all my Whatsap conversations etc too. Would they get lost?
Thanks.
