Assuming that you are talking about restoring the backup, if no apps are downloading at all, and all are stuck on waiting, try tapping on some of the waiting icons to pause them, and then see if any apps will continue to download. You could also try restoring your phone and see if the downloads will resume.


When I bought my XR, I started restoring my backup at the Apple Store and my apps didn’t finish downloading until got home back to my WiFi network some hours later.
