In a new support document Apple states:
If you restore your new iPhone or iPad from a backup, you might not be able to access the Apple Music catalog, Apple Music settings, or use Sync Library on your new device. To resolve this, update your new iPhone or iPad.
The issue is impacting the iPhone 13 (all variants), as well as the iPad and iPad mini 6.
Apple says to resolve the issue, users should simply go to general settings and update their software to the latest version of iOS 15.
