how long does it take to tranfer data from old phone to new one?

Hey there rrebel,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’d like to know how long it can take to transfer data from one iPhone to another. We’ll be happy to help with this.

The amount of time it can take transfer data from one device to another can vary depending on a few different factors. When you started the process, did you choose wireless or wired transfer? Transferring directly from iPhone to iPhone can take 5-10 minutes and if you’re using iCloud, you can start using your iPhone about 15 minutes after the transfer starts and the rest downloads in the background over Wi-Fi. You can read more about this here:

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you continue to have issues, let us know if you’re transferring the data wirelessly or wired and we’ll go from there. 

Take care.
