@Mamalioutas You'll need to buy a new e-sim for the new phone.  Unlike physical SIMs you can't transfer esim to new devices.  It should be this convenient but unfortunately it is not.  

You'll need to buy a new esim, activate it on the new device.  There are excellent instructions in @softech's post below.

For eSIM with new phone, you have to re-buy a new one for $5.  
Yes,  while eSIM is "cool", there are disadvantages as well.  For eSIM, if you have a new phone, or if you ever wipe your phone, you will have to re-buy a new eSIM again.   There is no such problem with Physical sim card.

To rebuy new eSIM, First, download the app on your new phone, click ⊕  or  ⧁  at the bottom left to bring up the menu and go to Subscription & Add-on page, scroll down to the bottom and click Shop SIM Card Now.  You can buy and install eSIM from there
