Im transferring from an IPhone 12 to a 15 and while I was setting up my new one I accidentally canceled the sync on my 12, but it still let me continue on the 15. When I got to the signing into iCloud it has been loading for almost a half hour!!
iPhone 12
I have worked around this problem following this process: Close the setup new phone window on the original iphone. This prompts a 'phone reset' on the new iphone, follow the prompts and reset. Then from my Macbook (probably can do from the original phone or via appleid.com) I opened up my apple id info and viewed devices. Select the new iphone and delete it from your apple id.
From this point I just started over following the prompts.
I think the issue is that the new phone has already added itself to your apple id, and the script that's running does not account for this scenario. By removing the new phone from your account, the script can run as expected for a clean install.
Worked for me, so worth a try.

I was having this same problem. Stuck on the sign-in page. For hours.
As per other suggestions listed here and elsewhere I rebooted both the new and the old phones.
I had changed my password when I started this whole process. (What's with Apple anyway, anytime I need to do something it makes me change my password? !?X!)
Anyway, turns out that even though I had changed the password, I needed to re-sign in on my old phone.
Not sure if those were the only two things I did (other than tearing my hair out), but that fixed the problem so I could get back to the set up page.
Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for the followup reply.
Wait it Out:
It will take some time. So, you'll just have to wait ti out. Do not interrupt it. Place it atop a laptop cooler, until all is completed.

There’s nothing dumb about it :)
If you restart your iPhone, it would start where it left off. So, Force restart iPhone.

“Hey guys- I am stuck here at Apple ID signing in- going onto 4 hours now. Cannot restart- only switch off. The migration has already cleared the old iPhone 13. What happened next? How long did you wait?”

Wait it Out:
You’re just going to have to leave it plugged in while this is performed. Let it do its thing. There’s nothing you can’t do.
Just keep trying to shut it down eventually it worked for me after leaving it to go black screen.

I am just wondering if you found a fix to this, I am also experiencing the same issue after phone reset, there is nothing I can do its been saying signing in for the past two hours, I get what others are saying try switch to a different wifi strength etc but what they are not seeing here is that we can't get into the phone to do anything like this? I am wondering if I connect it to my MacBook if It would sync with it?
I have 3 iPhones, 2 MacBook pro, and 2 mac mini, and changing my passwords created so many problems I can't explain! How buying iPhone 15 can create so many problems?! If I enter clean without transferring, it works fine, but I can't change Phones. This is an iPhone 15 problem, nothing else. On the other hand IF I pay to have more cloud... the transfer works fine.
To be clear I can’t click out of the sign in screen. I can’t power off my phone and can’t press the back button on the new IPhone.
