how long does it take to transfer from old iphone 11 xr to new iphone 13?

This all depends on how much data is being transferred and how fast is your Wi-Fi Network connection. This is because the data is transferred directly from your old iPhone to your new iPhone and all the Apps are downloaded directly from the App Store over the Wi-Fi Network. If you feel that the progress has stalled for more than an hour (While both devices are connected to a Wi-Fi Network) then you may have to start all over again.

So 12 hours is too long?!

Yes.

Tap on one of those apps that are in the process of download and try and start the download again. If that does not work then start the transfer process again.

Yes, but it will pause when the phone locks, unless it is plugged in. So leave it plugged in until it finishes.
