Transferring data to new Apple 13 from Apple 11, setup is complete except several apps are not downloading after over an hour. Both phones hooked up to power/fully charged. How can I activate the downloading of these important apps?

The apps will be downloaded independently of the transfer, i.e. they are not transferred when using Quick Start.


This being said, your iPhone 13 is fully set up and no longer needs a connection to your iPhone 11. You'll need to wait for your iPhone 13 to upload the apps and, if things are taking too much time, restart your iPhone 13. The apps may take a long time to load, e.g. a few hours depending on the quality of the connection to the App Store.


Besides restarting your iPhone 13, there isn't much you can do to speed up the process.
