How to transfer app and data from old iPhone to new iPhone for model IOS17 and IOS18 above.

It always a headache for non tech savvy users to transfer their old iPhone app and data to new iPhone.  Despite all the effort by Apple with well thought out UX design to make it as intuitive as possible for users to do it themselves. It is still a hair pulling feat to take on. The worse part is that I notice Apple UX do not like to explain anything in written words, they would expect that you follow the flow of UX intuitvely. Many if not majority of iPhone users would have problem doing this easily perhaps their intuition is not the same as Apple employee most of the time. I checked Apple website on how to do it, there is also no clear instruction how to do it. Their instruction is simply - "trust my program process, i will get you there somehow". There is no transparency in the instruction unless you walk to Apple store in your town and talk to Apple employee to guide you. Comparing to Andoid phone, it seems like Apple are not so keen on helping their user to transfer data
