Transferring photos between iPhones can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I've got you covered. You can use AirDrop to transfer photos wirelessly, as long as both iPhones are running iOS 7 or later.
If you prefer a more traditional method, you can use a USB cable to transfer photos between iPhones. This method is especially useful if you have a lot of photos to transfer.
Preparation
Before you start transferring your photos, make sure you have a backup of your photos somewhere else. This will give you a safety net in case something goes wrong during the transfer process.
You'll also want to ensure you have enough space on your new iPhone to store all your photos. You can check this by going to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos and checking if you have enough iCloud storage.
If you're planning to use the AirDrop feature to transfer your photos, make sure both iPhones are unlocked and close to each other. This will allow you to use the NameDrop feature to share contact info and other information.
Using AirDrop
To transfer photos between iPhones, AirDrop is a great option. It lets you move photos quickly and easily.
Make sure the iPhone you want to send files to is within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range before you start. This ensures a smooth transfer process.
Open the Photos app on your iPhone, select a picture, and tap the share button. The AirDrop button will appear among the options.
Tap the AirDrop button and choose the target iPhone from 'Other People'. If you can't see another iPhone user, check if AirDrop is enabled on the target device.
The iPhone you're sending files to will display an AirDrop box asking if you want to accept the files. Tap 'Accept' to receive the shared photo.

Using iCloud
You can transfer photos from an old iPhone to a new iPhone via iCloud, but only if you're using iCloud Photo Library. Your photos won't be part of your backup since they're already stored in iCloud.
Apple only provides 5GB of free iCloud storage, which won't likely be enough to back up your iPhone. You'll need to pay for extra storage to transfer your photos over using iCloud.
However, Apple now offers temporary iCloud storage when you buy a new iPhone, so you can move your data over without involving a Mac or PC.
To transfer photos to a new iPhone using iCloud Photo Library, you'll need to have enough iCloud storage, which likely requires paying for an iCloud Storage plan. This will allow you to keep all of your photos stored in the cloud and in sync between all your devices.
If you already have iCloud Photo Library enabled on your old iPhone, you can simply enable it on the new iPhone by going to Settings, then iCloud, then Photos, and toggling on Sync this iPhone.

Transferring Photos
Transferring photos between iPhones can be a breeze, especially if you're using iCloud Photo Library. You can transfer your entire photo library to a new iPhone using Apple's iCloud Photo Library, which is a great way to keep all your photos stored in the cloud and in sync between all your devices.
To use iCloud Photo Library, you'll need to have enough iCloud storage, which is 5GB for free, but you can pay for more storage if needed. If you're already using iCloud Photo Library, transferring your photos to a new iPhone is simply a matter of enabling it on the new iPhone.
You can check if iCloud Photo Library is enabled by going to Settings > iCloud > Apps Using iCloud > Photos, and if Sync this iPhone is toggled on, then you're already using iCloud Photo Library. If not, you can toggle it on, but be aware that you'll need to have enough storage in iCloud to contain all your photos and videos.
If you don't have enough storage, you'll need to delete some photos or videos or pay for a storage upgrade. However, if you're only planning to use this to transfer your photos, you can sign up for a month and cancel the storage plan once everything has been moved over.
Alternatively, you can use iPhone Data Transfer to transfer your photos quickly and without losing image quality. This software is available for both Mac and Windows computers and allows you to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone, iPhone to Mac, and iPhone to PC.
You can use iPhone Data Transfer to transfer your iPhone photos partially or wholly, depending on how many photos you want to move. All you need is a computer and two USB cables, and you can transfer your photos in a few seconds.
Be aware that you should not unplug the two iPhones before the transfer process is fully accomplished, and when it's finished, you can check whether the photos are moved successfully by switching to the target iPhone.

Via a Mac
You can transfer photos from one iPhone to another using a Mac, but it's a more involved process. This method requires downloading all of your photos from one iPhone to your local computer and then uploading them onto the new iPhone.
You'll need to plug your old iPhone into your Mac using a USB to Lightning or USB-C cable. Make sure to trust the connection on both your iPhone and computer.
To get started, open the Image Capture from the Finder Applications folder or Launchpad on your Mac. Select your iPhone from the Devices section in the left sidebar.
Choose a folder where you'd like to copy all of your photos and videos from the Import To drop down menu in Image Capture. Then, select Download All to begin downloading all of your photos to the selected folder.
Once all of your photos and videos have been successfully downloaded, close Image Capture by selecting Image Capture > Quit Image Capture from the menu bar.

Communication
Communication is key when transferring photos between iPhones.
To start, both iPhones need to be under the same Apple ID and connected to the Internet.
Make sure to toggle on 'iCloud Photos' on the Apple ID page, and the photos will be automatically uploaded to iCloud.
The photos will be visible on the target device after a couple of moments, depending on the network speed and the number of pics being synced.
However, if you disable iCloud Photos on either iPhone, the photos won't be visible on the target device.
