Hi, I got a new iPhone 14 pro max a few hours ago was excited to start setting it up and I’m still at the start of the process 4 hours later.

I brought my current iPhone 12 close to new phone put the camera to the blue cloud thingy on the new phone and it said starting set up please wait a few moments then nothing. Both phones hung, the new phone on the blue cloud saying ‘waiting for other phone’.

After an hour I tried hard resetting both phones and starting the process again but it’s just the same.

Has anyone on here gone through similar and have any tips or have I bought a £1200 brick? If I can’t transfer the data over my only option is to send this back and stick with iPhone 12
