When you buy Apps through the App Store, these automatically become available on your other iOS gadgets - assuming that a version is available for that device. You should just be able to log in to the App Store and download them from the Purchased section of Updates.
The more important issue is making sure that your application data is transferred from one device to another. Configuration settings, accounts, saved progress in games and so on. To do that, you ll need to back-up the device to iTunes or iCloud.
Restoring from iTunes over USB is recommended for a first time set up.
The easiest method is using iCloud, because it's a switch on and forget it deal. Go to Settings then iCloud and tap Storage and Backup. Switch iCloud Backup on. The backup will process automatically, every time your iPhone is connected to WiFi and locked.
If you have a Mac and you've never backed up your iPhone, it may be quicker to backup to iTunes. Making sure that iCloud backup is switched off, connect your iPhone to your computer. iTunes will launch and should automatically begin synchronising the iPhone. If not, you can right-click (or CTRL-Click) on the iPhone icon to backup straightaway.
Backing up to iCloud gives you 5GB of free space for photos, documents and application data
When you switch on your brand new iPhone, it gives you a choice between restoring from iTunes or iCloud. Choose iCloud and you'll be prompted to enter you details. The backup will restore over WiFi - so make sure you do it at home for security and reliability.
If you choose iTunes, you'll need to connect the new iPhone to your computer. A prompt will ask if you'd like to set up as new or restore from a backup. Restore the backup and everything will be right in the world again.
