How long should quit start take to transfer data from one iPad to another?

I am trying to do a quick start. I have a brand new iPad and transferring from my old iPad. It has been stuck on 2.9 GB for hours. How long should I give it before I give up and do it from the cloud? Thanks.

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15

The time required to perform the transfer will be determined by many factors - including but not limited to:

  • the quantity of data/number of files to be transfered
  • the transfer/restore method used
  • the available bandwidth of the WiFi network/internet connection


Larger downloads, or poor network connection bandwidth, will result is slower transfer. If using QuickStart, keep both devices connected the their respective Power Adapters throughout the transfer process.


How much data are you attempting to transfer between devices - or restore from a backup?
