How long does quick setup take?

I’m trying to setup a replacement iPhone 6s for my daughter...I’m using the quick setup feature but it is still spinning on “setting up your Apple ID” on the new and “finish on new iPhone” on the old...it’s been several minutes and so I don’t know if it’s working or not. Thanks!

There should be no harm in aborting and re-starting both devices, note that both should be on external power during this process, and optionally on same Wi-Fi network for data migration (both have to be on iOS 12.4 for the full data migration though, which is a new optional step).
