'Transferring Data to "iPhone" Time remaining: About 5 minutes' stays on old iphone for HOURS

Hey guys, I am transferring data from my old iPhone to a new one.

All the apps and data should have been transferred to the new iPhone (no more waiting and downloading signs). However, the screen of 'Transferring Data to "iPhone" Time remaining: About 5 minutes' stays on my old iPhone for hours.


There is only one button of "cancel" on the screen. May I know how should I proceed? Thanks guys.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

Was there a lot of data on your old phone? If so, depending on what method you chose, transferring for hours sounds reasonable. If you decide to cancel, all your data is still intact on your old iPhone, so you can restart the transfer process if you’d like.
