Quick Start taking hours - iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 6

I am setting up my new iPhone 12 mini and followed the prompts to use quick start to transfer data directly from my iPhone 6 to my iPhone 12 Mini. It gave an estimate for the transfer of between 20 and 25 minutes. So far it has been running for five and a half hours.

Is this normal? Should I abort the transfer and use another method, if so what is the correct procedure?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

My iPhones are both still in the transfer data mode after 14 hours. How do I abort this process safely?
