Apps are very slow downloading after upgrade

I just upgraded to a iPhone 8 plus which is running os version 11.1. After restoring my backup to it from my iPhone 6 the apps are still download after 6 hours. The phone has 256 GB of ram so that can't be the problem.

Hello rdyrnot,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that you have are concerned about the amount of time it is taking to download your apps after restoring your backup. Depending on how many apps you have the time it takes to restore them can vary. The following article has some additional information which may be helpful:

Stay connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network and a functional power source until the process finishes. The time it takes to create a backup or restore from a backup depends on the size of your backup and the speed of your Wi-Fi network.

Best Regards.
