The first thing you have to do after getting a new iPhone, is to make your very own Apple Id by creating apple account. A Sign-Up screen will be automatically shown when you switch on your phone. Here you have to enter your Full Name, Email Address (if required), Desired Password (required if) and some important security questions, so that you get access to your Apple ID, in-case you get stucked while logging in.
If you have previously used iPhone and have already made Apple ID, then you can simply login it again in your new device, and start syncing data from your iCloud.
We recommend you to create Apple ID, because through this you can easily use your phone features completely and can get benefit from it. After signing up you will also get some credentials which will be your iCloud account too. iCloud allows you to easily get back your previously saved data whenever you get a new phone or if your phone gets lost.
