I back up my iPhone via USB. (NEVER iCloud) My iPhone used to backup in minutes. Lately it is taking hours to complete. There is no reason it should suddenly take hours to complete. This is new, and seems to be related to the latest IOS software.
iPhone 13 Pro Max
Connect iPhone to Computer / Mac
Settings > Touch/Face ID & Passcode > USB Accessories > [Enable]

IOS 16.1.1 on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Backing up to a MacBook Pro 13", M1 Chip, 2020 MacOS Ventura 13.0.1.
I have tried multiple USB C to Lighting cables and nothing changes. My iPad 6th Gen running IOS 16.1.1 backs up to the Mac in minutes! It is only the iPhone that takes hours.
These devices have been working for YEARS and Yes I KNOW how to use the software.
