taking a long time to backup iphone to Mac

In my recent experience over three different iPhones and 2 different MacBooks it has taken 48 hours to backup the ip[hone for the first time or cases where it has not been backed up for a while. These are 256G iPhones with about 120G worth of data and the backup is encrypted. Somehow I do not remember it taking this long to backup the data, has anyone else experienced this and/or what can I do to cut the backup time.

Depending on the computer and amount of data on the iPhone, it may take some time for the backup to complete. If you encounter an error, give these steps a try: If you can't back up your iOS or iPadOS device to a computer or restore it from a backup
