Hi there. When I start to try and transfer photos and videos from my old phone to my new Huawei it stays at 1 picture and the estimated time remaining jut keeps going up.
Hi, welcome!
Can also try downloading Google drive and photos see if you could load them there from your old phone that way can access from new one once sign into the account on new phone.

How many photos are you trying to move? Have you considered uploading them all to your Google Photos in the cloud using the Google Photos app for iOS? Once they're in the cloud, you can access them easily from any other device logged into your Google account.

^ You can in effect get free unlimited Google Photos Cloud storage of iPhone photos at original quality, I was reading yesterday, because of some technical difference in the iPhone's photo file-type.

Nasty - free unlimited ,heif storage. https://petapixel.com/2019/10/19/ip...lity-storage-on-google-photos-pixel-4-doesnt/ (Better format - if creates smaller files while retaining quality.)

Of course, from https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4246575

"Despite the huge storage savings, image quality left a bit to be desired. Taking a close look at each set of images, we saw that the new high efficiency format loses detail, especially in low-light shots. Compared to JPEG files, detail and colour looked smudged and smeared."
