Backup to iCloud on new iPhone 16 Pro Max

Set up my iPhone 16 Pro Max yesterday. Trying to backup to iCloud and it is taking hours.

Why is it taking so long?



iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

If this is your first time backing up to icloud then it will take a long time, that why is recommended you do the process at night before going to bed, connect to wifi, plug to power, lock the device and leave it alone.
