iPhone 11 set up

I’m setting up my new iPhone 11; it’s let me set up Face ID, do hey Siri etc and then it wanted to do a software update. Whilst the update was going through my old iPhone came up with a message that the old to new phone setup had failed, the software update on the new phone seemed to go through but it’s been stuck in the below screen for 2 hours now! Help!

iPhone 7, iOS 13

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Once that’s complete, you can use the steps in this link to transfer your data over:


Use Quick Start to transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Cheers.
