I am having a hard time transferring my old data from Iphone8 plus to Iphone 12 Pro Max. Iphone 12 Pro Max got stuck in Quick Start. The old Iphone 8 plus is ready and showed the camera waiting on Iphone 12 Pro to respond. I had to erase and reboot new Iphone 12 Pro Max. Still same issue got stuck on Quick start.

Hi Imee76,
We understand you need to transfer data from a previous device to a new one. We're happy to help.
If the Quick Start option is not able to finish setting up, you can just restore a backup from your previous device instead.
On your previous device just go to Settings > your name at the top > iCloud > iCloud Backup, and make sure you have a current backup available. Then you'll need to reset the new device to get back to the initial setup menu. Just go to Settings > General > Reset, and select Erase All Content & Settings.
Once you're back to the setup menu just go through it until you get to the Apps & Data page and select Restore from iCloud backup. then just sign in to your Apple ID account and choose that backup from your previous device.
Use iCloud to transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You'll want to make sure you stay in range of your Wi-Fi network until everything has downloaded to your device. If you leave the Wi-Fi connection before everything has finished downloading, it will stop wherever it is at and you'll need to start the restore process over to get the rest of your data. Once you've started the restore process on the new device, you can monitor the progress in Settings > your name at the top > iCloud > iCloud Backup.
We hope this helps. Cheers!
