How long does it normally take to back up an iPhone,?

I haven’t back my phone up since 2018, I have been trying to back this phone up since yesterday afternoon and it is now saying 3 days. Does that sound normal? I have deleted all unnecessary apps and messages.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Say you have 10 GB of photos and data (Check this in Settings, General, iPhone storage

Say you have 20mbps average internet speed

That will take a minimum of

(10,000 x 8)/20 = 4000 seconds =

4000/360 hours = 11 hours minimum

50GB of data would take 55 hours minimum

Plug in your numbers.
