Transfer of data from iPhone 7 to iPhone 12 mini

Software Updating whilst setting up new iPhone 12 mini. Should this happen? It seems to be taking hours. Should I restart?

Hello Cashcutie,


It sounds like you have some questions about transferring your data from one iPhone to another. We're happy to help you out with this.


Did one of your devices prompt you to update your iOS in order to complete the transfer process? If so, go ahead and let the update complete. Software updates, as well as transferring data from one device to another, can take some time depending on your internet connection and how much data is being transferred. Make sure you're following the correct steps here: Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Take care.
