False.

 
When I signed back into iCloud on my new iPhone the apps from the
previous phone did not migrate over.

 
These dingbat trolls don't know the difference between
transferring your data from the old phone (or a backup of it) to
the new one and setting up the phone as new and signing into
iCloud. The former results in the EXACT location of every folder
and every app (and every widget & shortcut too) being transferred
to the new device.  The latter naturally does not.

 
Heh heh heh... Now that we've established how the dumb-terminal
brain-dead iOS does it, how do you think Android re-installs apps,
Jolly Roger, with all the app icons, widgets, homescreen folders &
even the data itself in EXACTLY the same locations on the new phone
as they were on the old phone.
 
I'll wait for you to tell us...
 
HINT: No need for the Internet (i.e., no Google, no login, no
cloud).  It just works.

 
You can do exactly that with an iOS device.

 
Apparently little Arlen  and his best buddy badgolferman have never
heard of Quick Start - yet little Arlen constantly claims he knows
more about Apple than anyone else.

Maybe you didn’t read the original message. I didn’t migrate the
phone, the IT technician did.

Maybe you don't understand that who happened to set up your iPhone is
wholly irrelevant to the discussion of whether you can transfer
everything over to a new iPhone.  The FACT (Arlen loves that word) is
that you can indeed transfer the exact location of every folder and
every app to a new iPhone from an old
iPhone.
