And he chose one method when he could have chosen another.

  She.  Does that make a difference?

Yes.
As has been presented to you already:
'Choose how you want to transfer your data.
If you download from iCloud, your apps and data download in the background so that you can start using your new device right away.
If you transfer directly from your previous device, you'll need to wait for the transfer to complete on both devices before you can use them.'

Note that if you choose the latter, you will wait for everything to come over directly from your old iPhone, but no downloading is required.
Now: how long did the technician have your iPhone?
