Apps that transferred from iPhone 11 will not download on the new iPhone 15

How do I speed the process to load the apps that transferred from my iPhone 11 to the new iPhone 15 pro max? Purchased phone 4 days ago and apps still loading.

Apps are not transferred, they are downloaded from the App Store. So you need keep the phone connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data until the downloads are complete. If using Wi-Fi leave the phone plugged in to keep Wi-Fi enabled, as it is disabled 30 seconds after the screen locks.

I full time RV and do not have WiFi. Not all RV parks have WiFi. Where I was staying in Yuma, AZ WiFi was not available and I did not want to drive to a Starbucks using an unsecured WiFi for loading my financial apps. I use cellular data for everything. I have an unlimited plan with Verizon which has worked fine until I purchased the new IPhone 15 pro max. The problem was 5G. Took me a lot of research then remembered my days in Malawi when the only way my Apple phone would work was to reduce it to 3G. Then it worked fine. So after reducing to 4G LTE the new phone worked fine.

It took over 7 days to bring my new phone back to my normal. First I had to change it from 5G since my provider did not cover the area I was in with 5G.

Thank you. I used the incorrect term. Yes I know the apps are downloaded but I was referring to the ones that were transferred to be downloaded to the new phone. I turned my phone to never lock the screen and will keep plugged to a power source. Hope that helps. I have all but one app on pause so trying to load one app at a time. Apple apps loaded instantly when I picked up the phone. It is other apps like Google maps and Discord that are taking days.
