Very slow iCloud restore of data to a new iPhone Hi - i backed up my old 6s+ to iCloud, 148G of data... The restore process was started by the phone shop via wifi, transferred to 4G whilst i drove home & is now continuing on my home wifi (BT 55mbps/18mbps) but its taking an age & by my calculation is transfering at 2.1g per hour? Am i really staring at a possible 50hrs to complete this? The back up itself took 8hrs...pls give me some sane news! thks

too many variables to account for.

plug your ipad to power, lock the device and let it finish restoring.
