"Phone taking too long to backup to iCloud: My phone has taken 6 hours to back up and still isn’t even half way finished. I bought more storage than I need and I have service but my phone is taking so long to backup. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?"

iPhone-to-iCloud Backup Speed:

Cancel the backup, and then clear space on the iPhone. Once cleared, perform this once more...

How to Clear Space:

Here is what to perform...

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

• Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
• Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.
• Go Here: Clear the History and Cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - Apple Support

B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

Also...

C. Clear "Other":

Clear the storages named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use.
