Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand you've restored your iPhone via an iCloud backup and you're concerned that it's still showing as downloading content. Restoring from an iCloud backup can take a long time, and it can vary depending on the amount of data it has to restore (especially photos and videos), and your Wi-Fi connection. For more information please see below:
Restoring my device from an iCloud backup is taking a long time
Restoring from a backup might take a while because of the size of the backup or the speed of the Wi-Fi network. For example, iCloud can take approximately 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte during a restore process.
There are several steps you can take:
- In iOS 8 or later, check the progress of the transfer on your device under Settings > iCloud > Backup. If the restore process is underway, the iCloud Backup setting is dimmed.
- Make sure that your device is connected to the Internet with reliable Wi-Fi.
- Make sure that your device is plugged in to a power outlet.
- Check the Apple progress bar that appears while transferring a backup.
If you need help restoring your device from an iCloud backup
Cheers.
