Apps stuck on downloading after migration to new iPhone 16 Pro i was switching from Iphone 11 to iphone 16 pro. while transfering was completed, the apps were downloading. however, after a while all apps downloaded except a couple and app store continued to be on waiting. i have restarted my phone multiple times, signed out it icloud and restarted. Tried everything i could have. What could be the issue? App store is still on loading and cannot be used and cannot be deleted and reinstalled either [Re-Titled by Moderator]

new iphone 16e apps stuck downloading after iCloud restore 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

In rare circumstances the download and installation of Apps can appear to stall.

Try a long-touch (i.e., touch and hold) of any App that appears to be stuck; next select Prioritise Download. This will usually kick-start and complete the App installation process.
