Why is my iPad Transfer taking so long?
So I got an iPad yesterday and I was able to set it up but I’ve set it up so everything transfers from my phone onto my iPad too but it’s now taken 15 hours. Is that normal?

The time required to perform the transfer from your iPhone to iPad will be determined by many factors - including but not limited to:
- the quantity of data/number of files to be transfered
- the method used
- the available bandwidth of the WiFi network/internet connection
Larger downloads, or poor network connection bandwidth, will result is slower transfer. The only aspect that you may be able to directly influence is your WiFi network. You should note, however, that the slowest item in the chain will ultimately be the limiting factor.
Keep your iPad and iPhone connected to their respective Power Adapters throughout the transfer process - as doing so will keep their WiFi connections active. Otherwise, the devices network connection may become inactive, extending the time needed to complete the transfer process.
