The Quick Start method is used without any cables. Here is how to ➔ Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

How long does it take? That depends on how much information need to be transferred and whether you use iCloud for Messages or Photos or not. Your Wi-Fi Network speed is also a huge contributor to the time. There is no straight answer to your question. I recommend that putting aside 2 hours of your time to get the migration and any cloud data (including Apps) downloaded.
