Apps not downloading after a new phone

Hello!


I received my new iPhone 12 last week. I did the standard transfer and many of my apps have still not downloaded almost a week later.


Does any one know why this is taking so long?


I am able to download new apps

iPhone 12, iOS 14

See the Apple Support article(s) below.


Apps won’t downloaded.       


App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - If you can't connect


Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch         


Try a forced restart.


Reset Device.      


If necessary


Hard reset.        


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.
