Same with android phones ...

Only if you've let Apple/Google have your data (I don't)

I can't remember the process fully, and I'm not going to wipe my phone
just to find out, but when I upgraded from Nexus5X to Pixel3 there was
an option to transfer apps/data between them using a USB-C to USB-C
cable, possibly initiated by tapping them back-to-back for NFC.

I don't know if this works on Samsung/Huwaei/OnePlus/etc phones, or just
Google's own devices.

It really is worth getting My Phone Explorer. That gives you access to
pretty well everything on your phone and allows you to back it up on your
PC. And would give you the choice of what to transfer to another.
