Data Transfer. Is anyone else experiencing EXTRAORDINARILY long times when using 'Quick start' (placing new phone next to old phone) data transfer after buying a new iPhone. My 12 mini is only 64g - my new 13 mini is 256g. So far it's taken longer than 8 hours! I have no sort of 'error message' or any suggestion that the process had been interrupted or needs to be restarted. I can see that some music has transferred and some photos but no more. Lots of my data has not been 'moved'! Would it have been quicker to use the 12 mini back-up on my MacBook Pro! It's ridiculous !

How much are you transferring? Mine took over 24 hours as I suspected it would be.
