The time it takes for an iPhone to prepare for a data transfer can vary. It depends on factors like the amount of data, your internet speed, and your device's performance. It's important to note that the 'Preparing to transfer' phase is a normal part of most data transfer scenarios and shouldn't take too long.
The preparation process may only take a few minutes for smaller amounts of data or when transferring data locally. However, transferring a large amount of data, such as many photos, videos, apps, and documents, could take longer.
Generally, it will take around 20-40 minutes to complete the transferring data through Quick Start. So, it's advisable to choose a time when you won't need to use your current iPhone for several minutes, ensuring you're prepared for the process.
