Hey LisaDawg,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities and congratulations on your new iPhone!
When using iCloud to transfer your data to your new iPhone, it really comes down to just how much data is being transferred and the Wi-Fi connection. If you have a lot of data, it could take quite a while and the two and half hours would not seem long at all. The following is from step 7 in Use iCloud to transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
7 - Stay connected and wait for the restore process to finish, then complete the rest of the onscreen setup steps. If possible, keep your device connected to Wi-Fi and plugged into power after setup. This allows content like your photos, music, and apps stored in iCloud to automatically download back to your device.
Let us know if you have questions.
Take care!
