used iCloud to transfer my phone data and stuff to my new phone but my apps are stuck downloading at the 7 o clock or 3 o clock position and have not progressed for hours. My connection is fine I’m not sure what the issue is, I’ve tried everything. if anyone has a solution it would be helpful as I’m honestly looking at my options of returning the phone

When Transferring to a New Phone...
Use Quick Start:
The transfer may have stalled. So, is Quick Start is what you used here. What you would do is, restore your new iPhone to factory settings, and then perform this once more, using Quick Start: Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
The iCloud data transfer size remaining thats displayed in settings does seem to be going down and my photos are loading up, so I’ll just wait a day or so and see if it eventually fixes on its own. Maybe the apps will be the last thing to go through 🤷🏻♀️ . If anything I’ll factory reset and do a quick start as you mention, I’m not sure if I did this option or not, just that I did an iCloud transfer option. Thanks a lot for the help!

Thank you for the followup reply.
See if the wait fixes this. A Quick Start is what to perform there, as all would be transferred that is permitted.
