How long should it take to transfer data from the old phone to the new phone? I got my new phone 2 days ago. Waited 4 hours and it wasn't complete. Nothing showing estimated time. I had to stop because I need my phone for business. Tried again today and am an hour and a half in. I can't afford to be without my phone for hours at a time.
iPhone 7, iOS 10
Sorry, we still have insufficient data.
For example, which of the three methods listed below did you use to initiate the transfer?

OK, I will ask one last set of questions, because this process of extracting information is quite laborious.
You've used QuickStart. So here are some questions arising from this article:
Read the above article to make sure you understand the appropriate process when using QuickStart depending on the iPhone 7's iOS version and other environmental factors such as proximity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.
Good luck with the transfer!
It was Quick Start. I had to connect the new phone to wifi. It said to keep both phones near each other until transfer is complete.
Should you choose to change your mind and ask further questions in the future, here is some general guidance (written by someone else who answers frequently here) about formulating questions.
Good luck to you.

You are asking us to guess exactly the steps you took to perform the transfer.
Without knowing that, the transfer may take minutes ... or perhaps hours ... or perhaps days ...
I chose the option that said transfer data from one Iphone to the other Iphone when I began the setup of the new phone.
I am sorry I even asked a question since all you are going to do is continually put me down. I know how to read and have followed the steps given. I will refrain from asking anything here ever again.
