If your playlists didn't transfer to your new iPhone, ensure you're logged into the same Apple ID on both devices. Also, check that you've enabled iCloud Music Library in your settings. If issues persist, try syncing with iTunes or download your purchased music directly from the iTunes Store again. For persistent problems, contacting Apple Support can provide additional assistance.
