iPhone backups to Mac are so slow!

Why do backups from such a technologically advanced device to such an advanced laptop take soooooo long? It’s been 6 hours to backup a 256GB iPhone 11 Pro so we can restore and cutover to an iPhone 16 Pro.

There really is no excuse for this kind of poor performance from these products. How does Apple get away with this? And I refuse to pay the iCloud fees to store all data for a family of 5 as backups so we can upgrade phones and move our data.

The cable may be faulty. 6 hrs is too long a time.

Search for accessories that have completed MFi certification. Once an accessory has completed MFi certification requirements and is reported to Apple as sold/distributed, it will be searchable in our public database of authorized Lightning, headset, charging, iAP-enabled, and Find My network-enabled accessories.
