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

That is not my experience with any iPhone I've had, personal or
corporate.  The apps get downloaded if they're still on the App Store,
but not in the same layout or folders they've been placed into.

One of the first things I do with a new phone is move most of the
preloaded Apple programs into an Unused folder, sometimes I even delete
them.  Yet these always remain where they were when preloaded at the
factory.  I also move other icons into folders so I can have more on
the Home page 1 screen.  These do not get placed back in the same
folders.
