Can i factory reset and return old phone if new phone is indexing?

I got a new phone, did the transfer but the new phone has been indexing for a few days. I need to return the old phone. Is all the information on the new phone during indexing so it would be safe to return the old phone?

iPhone 16, iOS 18

For the Quick Transfer Process: Keep your devices near each other and plugged into a power source until the data migration process has finished. Transfer times can vary based on factors such as network conditions and the amount of data being transferred.


If your new device is enrolled in Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager, you can’t use Quick Start to transfer data from your current device.
