Why is my iPhone 16 stuck on 'Signing In'? Trying to set up new iPhone 16 by data transfer from existing phone....WiFi, Bluetooth etc enabled, phones charging and next to each other - the new phone is just 'spinning' on page saying 'signing in' to the existing Apple ID.....but it has been like this for over 3 hours now. Is this normal? I was expecting to see the terms/conditions to agree then the screen saying 'data transfer in progress' ?????? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
